Urbanism
My interest in the right to city began to grow in 2008 when I was arrested, attempting to go to a demonstration in Tahrir square. Goin back to Cairo in 2011 and sleeping in the same square I was once denied simply standing in felt like a revolution in and of itself.
Since 2011led by the changes I witnessed in the use and occupation of public space in Cairo and Damscus, I have been concerned with how bodies move in public spaces, walking, quotidian and non-quotidian urban practices and forms of embodiment involved in being in cities. I have continued to engage in research and practices in relation to movement in space and embodiments of it.
