This is an excerpt from what Heba El Moaz had to say about Reimagined Images and The 29th Letter of the Alphabet:
“Reimagined Narratives” is the third series of pop-up exhibitions held at different heritage sites across Egypt by Art D’Égypte. The third annual art exhibition is on view for three weeks from late October at four historic locations along Al-Mu’izz li-Din Allah al-Fatimi Street in the UNESCO world heritage site of Islamic Cairo. This type of exhibition is the first step to reconnect us with our culture and heritage.
Also a broad project curated by Alexandra Stock under the name of “The 29th Letter of Alphabet” was running in parallel during the exhibition and it took place at Downtown Cairo in Tamara Building. A program of talks, lectures and workshops and a collaboration with five Egyptian galleries: Mashrabia Gallery of Contemporary Art, Gallery Misr Karim Francis Gallery, Picasso Gallery, and Atoun Gallery which were displaying works of 43 modern and contemporary Egyptian artists.
