Khadra 2013

July 2013

Darb 1718, Cairo

 

Khadra is an initiative started by a group of Egyptian women artists in 2012 to offer an event through which like-minded artists could exhibit collectively. Ten Egyptian artists took part in the first show. This year, they decided to organize a second edition, but opened it to artists from other countries in the region, resulting in a dynamic selection of works that subtly allude to recent political developments in the Arab world.

Participating artists: Asmaa Elkolaly (Egypt), Hend Elkolaly (Egypt), Nevien Emam (Egypt), Wesam Quraish (Egypt), Hala Abou Shady (Egypt), Marwa Elshazly (Egypt), Saad (Egypt), Mona Shams (Egypt), Samah Nagy (Egypt), Eman Osama (Egypt), Sarra Ben Attia (Tunisia), Houda Ghorbel (Tunisia), Ymene Chetouane (Tunisia), Waheeda Malullah (Bahrain), and Asma Ghanem (Palestine

A Scenography Workshop by Hussein Baydoun

A Scenography workshop by Hussein Baydoun

8-16 September 2013

Falaki Theater, Cairo, Egypt

 

Hussein Baydoun is a Lebanese artist, architect, and scenographer who is known for his unique approach to set design. Baydoun frequently participates in the creation and development of performances from their early stages with the view that scenography is an essential component to the creation of theatrical work, one no less important than the script. His designs are often inspired by the performance spaces in which he works, where he creates fascinating sets from whatever is available as he challenges conventional notions about theater production, such as in his most recent performance "Alice," which was produced in collaboration with Lebanese playwright and director Sawsan Bou Khaled. In September, Baydoun returned to Cairo to lead a scenography workshop following the same vision. At the American University in Cairo`s Falaki Theater, he worked with six upcoming set designers, in addition to amateurs, on creating imaginative environments from the remnants of old sets and other discarded objects. This video highlights the vision and development of the workshop as Baydoun describes the aim of his teaching methods.
