Join us tomorrow for an artist talk with Photini Papahatzi at 7:00 PM, where she will share her experiences during her residency in Cairo. Photini explores her family’s roots in Egypt by mapping the traces they left during the 20th century. Her artistic practice incorporates photography, documentation, and narrative storytelling, addressing themes of migration, memory, identity, and the body.

The discussion will be conducted in English as part of the Anna Lindh Foundation’s ALFinMOTION Mobility program, supported by the European Union, in collaboration with the Sekoun Residency Program.

‏Address: Medrar, 10 Gamal Eldin Abo ElMahsen, Garden City, Cairo.
