"نزهة الملاية الزرقا"
تنظيم شادي النشوقاتي

يقدم عمر جبر تجربته الجديدة معتمدا فقط علي الرسم الملون، فهي منطقة تبدو محدودة الوسيط و لكنها تطرح في الوقت نفسه مستويات لا نهائية للتجول في عمق السرديات، قد يستعير من شغف رسوم الأطفال طاقات الحكي و فطرية الطبيعة و سحرها ، وقد يبحث من خلال مشاهدها المكثفة عن معني جديد للانسانية وللصداقة و الحب ، و فيها تكمن رغبات التخلي عن المظاهر في مقابل ما هو نقي و فريد.

المعرض مستمر حتى يوم ٦ يونيو

“The Blue Wrap Journey"

Curated by

Omar Gabr presents an exhibition composed entirely of hand-drawn works. Through his exploration of narrative and a candid, almost naïve playfulness, Gabr practices an intuitive and spontaneous approach to storytelling. Drawing on themes rooted in nature, its purity and inherent magic, he carefully constructs dense compositions that search for new meanings within our shared experiences of humanity, friendship, and love.
His embrace of distortion, along with a willingness to abandon literal appearances, creates space for more singular and unexpected truths to emerge.

بيوت مقصوصة

"كل إمرأة وهي طفلة صغيرة كانت تحلم بعروسة وبيت، تجمع قصاصات القماش كالكنوز لتصنع منها دمية أو لتصنع ملابس ملونة لعروستها البلاستيكية، والطفلة سحر الأمير لم تكن استثناء عن هذه القاعدة جمعت القماش من تحت ماكينة جدتها وصنعت الفساتين للدمى وحلمت بألوان أقمشة منزلها وألوان وأقمشة فساتينها المستقبلية".

Fragmented Memories

“As children, many girls dream of a doll and a home. They gather scraps of fabric like treasures, fashioning dolls or stitching bright garments for their plastic companions. Sahar Al Amir was no exception. As a young girl, she collected pieces of cloth from beneath her grandmother’s sewing machine, making dresses for her dolls and dreaming of the colors and textures that would one day fill her own home and wardrobe”.

Don’t miss ‘El Sima Sima 6’ by Hany Rashed, it on display until Saturday 2nd May.

——
Special thanks to

Hany Rashed delves into the visual archive of Egyptian cinema, reworking its familiar language through a process of fragmentation, repetition, and subtle disruption. Including painting and installations, the exhibition revisits film stills, subtitles, and commercial posters—primarily from the 1970s through the 1990s, alongside more recent titles.
Building on his ongoing engagement with Egyptian visual and pop culture, Rashed employs his signature sarcasm, humor, and keen eye for patterns to reframe nostalgia itself. Elements are rearranged, resized, and isolated; scenes are stripped of continuity; subtitles drift from their intended moments. In this deliberate dislocation, the works resist their original dramatic contexts, allowing for new relationships and connections just beyond the familiar.
A collection presented in pairs particularly plays with these parallel narratives. Elsewhere, Rashed reduces the cinematic experience to pure text, reducing film titles to conceptual symbolism. Different forms repetition are central to Rashed’s language, sometimes to highlight contrasts, others times to balance them. Weddings and funerals can seamlessly collapse into shared spaces, and office interiors recur as stages for absurdity.
Through these acts of de-contextualization and reconstruction, Rashed does not simply revisit cinema, but redesigns its logic. The result is a body of work that hovers between recognition and rupture, where nostalgia is neither preserved nor discarded, but reshaped into new speculative scenarios.
