Opening this Thursday, June 25th at 6:00 pm.

Presented as part of Artozium, the first summer arts event at the American University in Cairo, the exhibition brings together emerging talents working across sculpture, installation, painting, textiles, video, and digital image-making. It approaches the city as a living structure that continuously reshapes bodies, memory, and everyday relations. Developed through research-based and documentary approaches, the works examine how political, social, and economic transformations become embedded within intimate objects and shared urban spaces. Mirrors, garments, fences, dolls, and urban infrastructure emerge as material witnesses to systems that regulate movement, visibility, belonging, and access. Shifting between personal memory, violence, displacement, and adaptation, the works remain attentive to what lingers within bodies and places, presenting the city as an unstable image that continuously resists settling into fixed form.

The exhibition brings together works by Eman Hassan Allam, Farah El Shawarby, Gamila Hafez Abu Seada, Malak Ashraf Ali, Habiba Ashraf Atef, Omar Awad, Zainab Kamal, Salma Haytham, Kenzy Niazy, Dana Sadek, Nancy Harraz, Sama Shady, William Karkoucha, Jana ElRouby, Hussein Eledeissy, Nour Abdelkhalek, Hana Anis, Nada Mohamed, Hana Elfar, Mariam Mortagy, Mariam Badawy, Samira Awad, Mahitab Abdelaziz, Nada El Ramly, Nour Ezz, Nadine El Aboudy, Ahmed Mahgoub, Maya El Agizy, Marly Hanna, and Ahmed Shawky Hassan.
