Hey all,
I'm an Egyptian who was born and raised in Saudi Arabia. I visit Egypt once a year or two.
I'm an experimental artist and blogger on "A Love Affair with Art and Design"
I'm currently working on an art project with a very tight deadline. It is based on my research and thoughts on the topic of Arab stereotypes. You can read it here
I cannot discuss the art project entirely yet because the gallery has not announced the exhibiting artists publicly yet. However, I can tell you that it involves taking hundreds of photographs in my two homes: Jeddah, Saudi Arabia , and Cairo, Egypt.
My objective is to show the truth that has been hiding behind Hollywood's portrayal of Arabs. In the end, most of us are just ordinary peaceful people.
I will be coming to Cairo this Friday and staying until September 10th. I would really love to network with people who don't mind going out for a meal with me or hanging out, and allowing me to take their picture.
I would also love to get suggestions for places where I could photograph people and not get yelled at
You will definitely get a soft copy of the best photograph from the shoot if you like.
If interested to know more about this project, please feel free to send me a personal message with your email so I can provide more details.
