Nebenan schauen: Ein Blick nach Alexandria

Buchvorstellung: „Shared Margins. An Ethnography with Writers in Alexandria after the Revolution“

Ein neues Buch von Samuli Schielke und Mukhtar Saad Shehata, „Shared Margins. An Ethnography with Writers in Alexandria after the Revolution“ (De Gruyter 2021), erforscht die literarischen Räume und Karrieren von Schriftsteller*innen in Ägyptens zweitgrößter Stadt.

Es dezentriert kosmopolitische Avantgarden und säkular-revolutionäre Ästhetiken, die seit 2011 in Ägypten intensiv dokumentiert und untersucht wurden und bietet es eine feldforschungsbasierte Darstellung verschiedener Milieus und Stile.

Eine öffentliche Buchpräsentation findet am

8. November 2021 um 17.00 Uhr am Leibniz-Zentrum Moderner Orient in Berlin und online statt.

Series of 17 photographs, scanned 8×10 negatives, giclée prints; 2021.

This project began from thoughts about my network of women who have been supportive, safe and influential in my life, especially since I moved to living on my own. These thoughts slowly formed into a desire to situate myself among a generation of women who I feel are living in a time where Palestinian society is going through slow but radical change. A generation who slowly was pushing societal boundaries and questioning their roles in unexpected ways.
As I turn 30 this year, I decided to seek out  Palestinian women who were born in the same year as me to try and create a picture of where we stand today. The result is this work in progress which currently includes 17 portraits of Palestinian women all born in 1991. The portraits were made mainly using a large format film camera and were taken in the place each person feels is their own or their home.

Einlaß – nach 20 Monaten

Seit dem 1. November können wieder (mehr) Tourist:innen kommen …

Under the new regulations, only tourists who have been vaccinated during the 180 days before they boarded the plane will be allowed to enter Israel. Fourteen days days must elapse between the traveler’s second or third shot and entry to Israel (for Johnson & Johnson, one dose is required).

Only tourists from countries that aren’t defined as “red” due to high infection rates will be allowed in, although currently there are no countries labeled as such.
