The Devils Garden
Kayan Building, Heliopolis, Cairo, Egypt
Cairo Desgin week/Phlog
23 February- 2 March
The Devil’s Garden, located 20 kilometers south of the Mediterranean shore in Egypt, encompasses 20% of the world's landmines. This area, still haunted by the echoes of World War II, contains a staggering 20 million active landmines placed by Allied and Axis forces.
Covering approximately 280 thousand feddans, the landmine-infested terrain remains a significant threat. As of 2019, the casualties from these hidden hazards have surpassed 8000.
Moreover, there is a significant financial burden of clearance efforts in the area.
The Ministry of International Cooperation's recent analysis sheds light on the dire circumstances faced by survivors of explosions in The Devil's Garden. Of the 639 survivors surveyed, 94% were men and 97% were adults over the age of 18. Upper limb injuries account for the majority of cases (48%), followed by lower limb injuries (37%), and other injuries (15%).
Still here
Ubuntu Art Gallery, Cairo, Egypt
9-23 November 2023
The culmination of a lifetime’s commitment to documenting Cairo, Still Here attests to Yehia El
Alaily’s deep interest in the questions of social change, urban renewal, heritage preservation
and the cultural and psychological impacts of these transformations and subsequent losses.
Depicting abandoned, neglected or even soon-to-be demolished scenes from 2006 to the
present day, El Alaily’s work is poised between documentation and memorialisation and
captures rarely observed locations with emotional nuance.
Cherishing the idiosyncrasies of the interiors of now vacant residences and external landmarks
previously central to daily life such as storefront signs, urban sites and cinemas, these works
narrate and bear witness to Cairo’s urban evolution over the last two decades.
Human detail is celebrated across these nostalgic images of hand-painted signs, former
architectural grandeur, antique decor, graffiti, defunct technologies and sweeping views of
bygone city planning. For El Alaily, ghosts of the past linger in a now deserted world. Through
these photographs, the artist interrogates the civic role of photography and its power to archive
and conserve fragile histories and the collective memory of a city.

Mu'anath
Downtown Cairo, Cairo, Egypt
8 March-1 April 2021
The Mu’anath exhibition will explore the feminine appropriation rooted in our cultural identity through photography, painting and sculpture. The perception of the Mu’anath in our day-to-day lives can take the form of an inanimate object, a person, a figure, a structure, an abstract form or even in the way we see and feel things. The Mu’anath is fluid, it adapts, it is flexible and it strongly lies in one’s freedom.
