Cairography Screening at Metro Al Madina

Join Metro Al Madina as it hosts a videodance screening of “Cairography” by Dalia Naous and Kinda Hassan.

Synopsis: Everyone plays a conscious or unconscious role in imposing the permanent state of censorship that we experience in Cairo. We often find ourselves restricted by the closest ones to us before even having to face society’s constraints, and auto-censorship appears to be the only easy way to hide our differences and blend into the crowd

Before it took an artistic form, Cairography was fragments of stories collecting the experiences of two non Egyptian women/friends questioning their relationship to the city of Cairo and the modality of their presence in her streets

Through Cairography, we attempt to test the limits of the body’s ability to confront the restriction of society, and to question the visible and invisible boundaries between the public and the private space in the city of Cairo: what is it like to walk the streets of Cairo? What is allowed and what is forbidden?
