I Am One and also Two

The exhibition that opened at MASQ on 28 May 2022 presented works in various media by European and Egyptian artists. The opening was accompanied by a concert by Sheerin ‘Abdo and a “Sultan’s Fair” of handcrafts. On the occasion of the Europe Day, the exhibition explored the relations between Eastern and Western cultural idioms and traditions, under the title taken from a poem published in Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s West-Eastern Diwan in 1819. The exhibited works by ten artists varied in forms of expression from painting and sculpture to photography, collages, projections, and contemporary art installations. The event was attended by a numerous and very diverse audience.
