Museum Tours

2022-on going

An interactive and critical tour that contests the dominant narratives enacted by the Egyptian Museum in Cairo (Tahrir Square) and engages with it as a site and body of collective and nationalist memory. These tours encourage speculation around the objects on display, shifting our relationship with the museum where it becomes a place of fiction. The tour is designed to be breathable enough to allow the participants to form the discussion point, changing every time depending on the nature of the group and the ideas that the space of the museum retrieves.
