During the last three years, Egypt and the Arab region have witnessed radical changes politically, socially, and consequently in art, which is a deep and genuine reflection of social change. The unique vision depicted in the diverse works on display at Nabad represents an artistic document by seven Egyptian artists who have experienced, and been an essential part of, the uprising. The concept revolves around the Egyptian individual, who is the focus of all things—daily life, the streets, the walls, the graffiti, memory and dreams. The artists are: Essam Marouf, Ayman El Semary, Shayma Kamal, Ibrahim Khattab, Ahmed Talal, Ahmed El Shaer and Mohamed Abou El Naga, who is also curating the exhibition. Through their works, the selected artists have demonstrated, during the last few years, a great depth of observation and expression of all that has happened, and continues to happen, in Egypt.
