Address: 157B, 26 July St. Zamalek.
When: 13th December 2016 – 17th January 2017 Details: The first light after long nights is just a tiny distance between night and light. Such a brief
moment when light is so dim swiftly creates a divine psychological dreamy mode and magical charm, which overwhelm everything around it, when night and light suddenly blend until daylight flourishes.The borderless first light is always full of memories, fears, and illusions. At this moment, things and beings undress their reality creating an honest dialogue between everything present. At this moment we find that the window’s broken glass which we overlook life through it suddenly vanishes, leaving nothing seems as it really is.

Address: 8, Champollion St. Downtown.
When: 15th January – 16th February 2017
Details: Ali Abdel Mohsen uses line drawings and acrylic colours mixed with dirt and cigarette ashes on the surfaces of disused cardboard boxes to convey his impressions of decline in contemporary society. Strongly influenced by his surroundings, his work depicts a dystopic world of nihilism and paranoia. The individual plays no role: his subjects are faceless victims of the system. Slow War is his fourth solo exhibition.
