Sister, Oh Sister
Sister, Oh Sister is a photographic series exploring a first-person account of the experience of womanhood in Cairo. The series re-contextualizes extracted elements within the Egyptian vernacular culture, in order to create alternative representations of womanhood. Each photograph questions the validity of the components of “so-called” femininity, which are inevitably reinforce by subconscious, established, quasi dictatorial patriarchal norms.
The work was published in Azeema Magazine and exhibited with Mashrabia Gallery of Contemporary Art in 1-54 Contemporary African Art Fair (London), State of Fashion Biennale 2022 (Arnhem) and at the Middle East Institute (Washington).
