Ahmed Askalany, Ahmed Elshaer
Ali Abdel Mohsen, Hany Rashed
New Waves in Contemporary Egyptian Art
Contemporary Art Platform, Kuwait
5 February - 1 March

In collaboration with CAP kuwait, we're pleased to announce that Ahmed Askalany, Ahmed Elshaer, Ali Abdel Mohsen and Hany Rashed, are having an exhibition entitled New Waves in Contemporary Egyptian Art, for the first time in Kuwait, the exhibition runs till 1st of March 2019.

This exhibition embodies diverse personal and social views through various artistic approaches, each one challenging expectations. Bronze and other traditional materials are reinvented, and discarded materials such as cardboard are revived, to be juxtaposed to digital technologies. As a quasi-constant reference point stands the exposure to Western media and the alienation of the present Contemporary society. Also, we're pleased to announce that Hany Rashed will be present on the opening and the first days of the exhibition.

While Ahmed Elshaer produces figures from the popular and mass culture of the Arab world, Ali Abdel Mohsen harshly portrays landscapes of social and moral decay, Hany Rashed divests replicable subjects of any semblance of personality, and Ahmed Askalany humouristically overdraws the human features of anonymous characters. The digital prints, collages, and sculptures of this unconventional exhibition give shape to a small array of the artistic talent present in contemporary Egypt and dismantle standardized formulas of Egyptian contemporary art, offering a new perspective on the genre.”

Opening : 5th of February at 7:00 PM
The exhibition continues till 1st of March 2019

In the midst of the state of polarization in the cultural, social and political situation clearly dominated nowadays by loud voices and chaos, there is light radiating at the end of the overwhelming tunnel. This current situation has voiced few contradictions that has shaped our relationship to one another in general. One takes us to the peak of negativity while the other to a harmonious and open moments of hope for a different future.

The art works of artist Suhaila Al Najdi And Mahmoud El Maghraby discuss this contradiction. They together observe the social changes, the relationship to one another and even the relationship among Arab people.

In this exhibition they seek to renounce violence in all aspects in social and political levels and create new frameworks of flowing sensibilities and disappearing borders.

Date: February 10 - 21

Time: 6PM ONWARDS

Location: The Loft Gallery, The Print Room

The quest by me to begin this project has been ongoing for over two years, trying to find the right partners willing to invest in starting the conversation around women in business and becoming the change leaders they sought. “Dream, Girl” is a revelatory story about following your dreams, dreaming as big as you want to and finding women to support you in achieving those goals. Told in only 62 mins the engaging film, while set in the USA, informs themes for discussionthat are applicable to Kuwait.

There will be a panel discussion after the film to pull out these topics and hopefully show our Kuwait community that this is a conversation that may start with the “Dream, Girl” screening but is an ongoing conversation that needs to continue. We must build a network of female mentors for young women here and also build a network of allies in men. We must be willing to have these inclusive conversations which will help to stem sexism and misogyny in business, sexual harassment in the work place and even the playing field so women feel better able to support each other as there will be merit-based room for everyone.

The Story of Erin Bagwell, founder of “Dream, Girl” is not dissimilar to that of Victoria Hogg, who returned to her love of film after years in the tough corporate world of Banking and then Marketing. Victoria has produced and directed a first series, and is about to commence a second, of “Grit” documentary episodes on inspirational women in Kuwait, written, filmed, edited and produced entirely by women. The “Dream, Girl” event will screen a summary of “Grit” and direct you to where you can watch the “Grit” series on vimeo and youTube.
