for January 2016
Mashrabia Gallery
Exhibition: Slowly
Artist: Amre Heiba
When: Until January 7, 2016
Address: 8, Champollion St.Downtown
Details : Slowly moves from William Empson’s poem Missing Dates, a frequent source of inspiration for the artist. Instead of being a mere illustration of the poem itself, the show rather wants to express the feelings aroused by the text. In line with his previous production, Heiba portrays a dystopian world where colors, figures and spaces work together to recreate the sense if discomfort and violence of a world changing for the worst.
Exhibition: It Takes a Fool to Remain Sane
Artist: Shayma Kamel
When: Until January 20, 2016
Address: Embassy of Switzerland, 24, Gamal El-Din Abou El-Mahassen, Garden City
Details : Resulting from the interchange between Mashrabia and the Swiss Office for International Cooperation, the show celebrates not only the 25-years long pioneering mission of Mashrabia Gallery, but also the support and promotion of young local talents by the Embassy of Switzerland.
Gypsum Gallery
Exhibition: A Season in Hell

Address: 5 Ibrahim Naguib St., Ground Floor, Apt. 2, Garden City
