As part of her collaborative project “Let’s talk Food” (with Margareta Klose) the artist Nourhan Maayouf presents the performance “Diaries from a Locked Flat”:
Drinking coffee with colleagues, eating a Big Mac in her car and preparing Mahshi together with her mother at home. The artist Nourhan Maayouf takes us on a journey, reflecting on the daily life of a millennial female living with her family in one of Cairo’s middle class neighborhoods, from pre-COVID-19 times to lockdown realities in 2020. In a narration filled with excerpts from a diary and pop cultural elements, the artist presents memories, struggles and dreams amid uncertain times.
