Dossier – meeting 3 with Ahmed El Shaer

«Through bridging physical and virtual reality, I create an alternative environment that offers new ways of understanding social and political narratives that intersect with or challenge official and traditional ones. New media art practices, particularly video games as an art form, provide a space for expression and critical inquiry into subjects ranging from pure aesthetics to contemporary geopolitics.»

As part of the Dossier program, Ahmed El Shaer presents a selection of his projects that explore video games as an artistic medium and extended reality. The talk opens a space for discussion on these practices, tracing their intersections with artistic, social, and political concerns, as well as questions of production and reception in different contexts.

Join us on Wednesday, 12th of March 2025, at 9 PM in Medrar.

Medrar, 10 Gamal Eldin Abo ElMahsen, 8th floor, Garden City, Cairo.
