AUC's visual festival in Egypt
Published in The Egyptian Gazette on 28 - 05 - 2011

CAIRO - You almost hear the voices of the protesters in the photos. You almost fell that you're back in Al Tahrir Square during the revolution.
These marvellous photographs are being displayed in three exhibitions being held in the AUC Press, located in Al Tahrir itself, as part of a visual festival that runs until the end of the month.
Large, colour reproductions of photos from three new AUC Press publications about the Egyptian revolution are being displayed in the AUC Future Gallery, which is hosting an exhibition entitled ‘Tahrir Square: Heart of the Egyptian Revolution' by Swedish photographer Mia Gröndahl.
The photographs bear witness to the great humanity during a revolution that impressed Cairo, Egypt and indeed the whole world.
Also in the Future Gallery, there is an exhibition of snaps for the publication Messages from Tahrir: Signs from Egypt's Revolution, edited by Karima Khalil, illustrating the innumerable messages that protesters wore, waved or hung from buildings, fences and lampposts ��" in the form of poems, rhyming slogans, puns, jokes, and tributes.
‘The Road to Tahrir: Front Line Images by Six Young Egyptian Photographers (Sherif Assaf et Al)' is another exhibition in the same gallery.
The exhibition is a stunning visual record of how history unfolded in Cairo's now famous square during the people's uprising that toppled Mubarak's regime.
In parallel with these exhibitions, in the Margo Veillon Gallery of Modern Egyptian Art, the first of two collections being exhibited concurrently, ‘Celebrating Egypt', features more than 40 mixed media paintings by Margo Veillon.
The second, Still Lifes, also by the late Swiss-Egyptian artist, comprises 17 oil and mixed media paintings, never previously seen by the public, from the Permanent Masterpieces Collection.
Meanwhile, the new AUC Legacy Gallery is hosting another exhibition to commemorate this year's centennial of the birth of AUC Press author and Nobel laureate Naguib Mahfouz, who was born in December 1911, as well as the AUC Press' 50th anniversary.
“As we find ourselves at the crossroads of various historic milestones, the AUC Press wanted to celebrate a century of Naguib Mahfouz and AUC Press' 50 years while paying tribute to Egypt's revolution, through art and photography,” says Mark Linz, the AUC Press director.
All galleries are located on the AUC Press premises in Al Tahrir, downtown Cairo.
Opening hours: the Margo Veillon Gallery of Modern Egyptian Art 2-6pm daily except Friday. The AUC Future Gallery & AUC Legacy Gallery 10am to 6pm daily, except Friday. The exhibitions run until the end of this month.
