Townhouse 10 Nabarawy St, off Champollion St, Downtown. Tel 02 2576 8086 Factory Space “Do It Bil Aarabi ”, a world where artists' instructions prevail, where the people fulfill and re-interpret these instructions as they please, and where creative expression has been woven once and for all into the fabric of daily life. Three artists invite us to interrogate the past: its sights, sounds and emotional textures. But in interpreting them there has been an aversion to nostalgia. Where Hazem Harb asks us to reinstate the heritage of historic Arab architecture (Roots, 2015), Ahmed Zaazaa instead demands we turn our attention to the ever-evolving here-and-now of Cairo's informal housing (To Dwell, 2017). Similarly, where Ahmed Ghossein invites us to collect audio letters recorded on cassettes from the ‘80s and early ‘90s (Intimate Secrets to be Published, 2015), Sondos Shabayek instead re-tunes our ears to an equivalent, present-day obsession: Whatsapp voice-notes (Intimate Voice-Notes to be Published, 2017). The viewer is invited to take part, respond, and offer artists interpretations of his own (closing 9 August).
