In order to grip the actual history of the neighborhood we constructed a timeline with research including: Scholarly books, published articles, websites, information found in archives and personal interviews. The timeline can be considered as a ‘work in process’; relevant information can be added during the exhibition period.
Research: Dina Kafafi
Timeline: Dina Kafafi, Elke Uitentuis and Wouter Osterholt




The 1:35 scale model of the neighborhood serves as a tool, stimulating those whose daily lives are tied to the community to reflect on their surroundings. During the course of the show we will interview members of the community and ask them what they would like to change add/or remove. The model will not remain a static representation of reality, but rather we will visualize the proposals of the neighbors in the model during the exhibition period.
Model: Ibrahim Saad, Heba Khalifa, Omnia Sabry, Salah Abdelshafy, Hady Galal Kamar, Wesam Attiya Mahmud, Amado Al Fadni, Elisabeth Jaquette, Travis Brecher, Wouter Osterholt and Elke Uitentuis
