sayeda . women in egypt .
Description
An account of the resource
SAYEDA is a photographic work about women in Egypt. I travelled to Egypt on various occasions to do portraits and interviews with women from different walks of life.
Many people in Egypt fight against violations of human, and in particular, women´s rights. In my work, I approached Egyptian women from different social environments whose position in society depends on religion, education, age and socio-economic situation. This work explores the issue of what it means to be a woman in egypt today.
I am so thankful to all women I had the great pleasure to meet, listen to and learn from!
I received a grant from the german foundation “VG Bild Kunst” for this project. I was also award the “Grenzgänger” Scholarship from the Literarisches Colloqium Berlin and the Robert Bosch Foundation, and this work was supported by the Goethe Institute in Cairo.
To see all portraits and read all interviews and also wondeful essays by political scientist Hoda Salah and art historian Franziska Schmidt, please have a look at the book:

The topic of the resource
Motivation: Part of my family is originally from French Algiers, but when I set out on this project, I had never visited an Arab country before. I like to encounter foreign worlds to learn about other cultures and people. Photography offers an opportunity, a way in. As a photographer, I am interested in the individual circumstances of people or different groups in the population; often these are people who live on the periphery of society or as a minority, either because of their jobs, their religion or life situation.
When the Arab Spring broke out in 2011 and the affected countries were in the media spotlight, I became more concerned with current events and began reading lots of newspaper pieces. Around the same time in 2012, I read a pivotal article written by Egyptian-American journalist and feminist Mona El Tahawy “Why do they hate us?“ which addresses misogyny in Islam. It was like being electrified. I wanted to understand more, and so decided to travel to Egypt to get to know the world of these women: their daily routines, their wishes, dreams and concerns. I wanted to know how differences in social position, religion, education, age and class defined the scope of their lives. The reports about the rapes at Tahrir Square in 2012 and 2013 convinced me of the necessity of this plan.
Preparing for the series was sometimes tedious and tough. Luckily, I had friends in Cairo who could tell me a lot about the country and who opened up a lot of doors for me. Films and books, news and newspaper reports provided more information on how Egyptian society developed over the last fifty years and how it runs today. When I received the grant from VG Bild Kunst for the project, the whole thing became much more concrete and I could finally plan the trip.

Subject
The topic of the resource
Motivation: Part of my family is originally from French Algiers, but when I set out on this project, I had never visited an Arab country before. I like to encounter foreign worlds to learn about other cultures and people. Photography offers an opportunity, a way in. As a photographer, I am interested in the individual circumstances of people or different groups in the population; often these are people who live on the periphery of society or as a minority, either because of their jobs, their religion or life situation.
When the Arab Spring broke out in 2011 and the affected countries were in the media spotlight, I became more concerned with current events and began reading lots of newspaper pieces. Around the same time in 2012, I read a pivotal article written by Egyptian-American journalist and feminist Mona El Tahawy “Why do they hate us?“ which addresses misogyny in Islam. It was like being electrified. I wanted to understand more, and so decided to travel to Egypt to get to know the world of these women: their daily routines, their wishes, dreams and concerns. I wanted to know how differences in social position, religion, education, age and class defined the scope of their lives. The reports about the rapes at Tahrir Square in 2012 and 2013 convinced me of the necessity of this plan.
Preparing for the series was sometimes tedious and tough. Luckily, I had friends in Cairo who could tell me a lot about the country and who opened up a lot of doors for me. Films and books, news and newspaper reports provided more information on how Egyptian society developed over the last fifty years and how it runs today. When I received the grant from VG Bild Kunst for the project, the whole thing became much more concrete and I could finally plan the trip.

Description
An account of the resource
SAYEDA is a photographic work about women in Egypt. I travelled to Egypt on various occasions to do portraits and interviews with women from different walks of life.
Many people in Egypt fight against violations of human, and in particular, women´s rights. In my work, I approached Egyptian women from different social environments whose position in society depends on religion, education, age and socio-economic situation. This work explores the issue of what it means to be a woman in egypt today.
I am so thankful to all women I had the great pleasure to meet, listen to and learn from!
I received a grant from the german foundation “VG Bild Kunst” for this project. I was also award the “Grenzgänger” Scholarship from the Literarisches Colloqium Berlin and the Robert Bosch Foundation, and this work was supported by the Goethe Institute in Cairo.

Subject
The topic of the resource
Motivation: Part of my family is originally from French Algiers, but when I set out on this project, I had never visited an Arab country before. I like to encounter foreign worlds to learn about other cultures and people. Photography offers an opportunity, a way in. As a photographer, I am interested in the individual circumstances of people or different groups in the population; often these are people who live on the periphery of society or as a minority, either because of their jobs, their religion or life situation.
When the Arab Spring broke out in 2011 and the affected countries were in the media spotlight, I became more concerned with current events and began reading lots of newspaper pieces. Around the same time in 2012, I read a pivotal article written by Egyptian-American journalist and feminist Mona El Tahawy “Why do they hate us?“ which addresses misogyny in Islam. It was like being electrified. I wanted to understand more, and so decided to travel to Egypt to get to know the world of these women: their daily routines, their wishes, dreams and concerns. I wanted to know how differences in social position, religion, education, age and class defined the scope of their lives. The reports about the rapes at Tahrir Square in 2012 and 2013 convinced me of the necessity of this plan.
Preparing for the series was sometimes tedious and tough. Luckily, I had friends in Cairo who could tell me a lot about the country and who opened up a lot of doors for me. Films and books, news and newspaper reports provided more information on how Egyptian society developed over the last fifty years and how it runs today. When I received the grant from VG Bild Kunst for the project, the whole thing became much more concrete and I could finally plan the trip.

Description
An account of the resource
SAYEDA is a photographic work about women in Egypt. I travelled to Egypt on various occasions to do portraits and interviews with women from different walks of life.
Many people in Egypt fight against violations of human, and in particular, women´s rights. In my work, I approached Egyptian women from different social environments whose position in society depends on religion, education, age and socio-economic situation. This work explores the issue of what it means to be a woman in egypt today.
I am so thankful to all women I had the great pleasure to meet, listen to and learn from!
I received a grant from the german foundation “VG Bild Kunst” for this project. I was also award the “Grenzgänger” Scholarship from the Literarisches Colloqium Berlin and the Robert Bosch Foundation, and this work was supported by the Goethe Institute in Cairo.
To see all portraits and read all interviews and also wondeful essays by political scientist Hoda Salah and art historian Franziska Schmidt, please have a look at the book:

Subject
The topic of the resource
Motivation: Part of my family is originally from French Algiers, but when I set out on this project, I had never visited an Arab country before. I like to encounter foreign worlds to learn about other cultures and people. Photography offers an opportunity, a way in. As a photographer, I am interested in the individual circumstances of people or different groups in the population; often these are people who live on the periphery of society or as a minority, either because of their jobs, their religion or life situation.
When the Arab Spring broke out in 2011 and the affected countries were in the media spotlight, I became more concerned with current events and began reading lots of newspaper pieces. Around the same time in 2012, I read a pivotal article written by Egyptian-American journalist and feminist Mona El Tahawy “Why do they hate us?“ which addresses misogyny in Islam. It was like being electrified. I wanted to understand more, and so decided to travel to Egypt to get to know the world of these women: their daily routines, their wishes, dreams and concerns. I wanted to know how differences in social position, religion, education, age and class defined the scope of their lives. The reports about the rapes at Tahrir Square in 2012 and 2013 convinced me of the necessity of this plan.
Preparing for the series was sometimes tedious and tough. Luckily, I had friends in Cairo who could tell me a lot about the country and who opened up a lot of doors for me. Films and books, news and newspaper reports provided more information on how Egyptian society developed over the last fifty years and how it runs today. When I received the grant from VG Bild Kunst for the project, the whole thing became much more concrete and I could finally plan the trip.

Description
An account of the resource
SAYEDA is a photographic work about women in Egypt. I travelled to Egypt on various occasions to do portraits and interviews with women from different walks of life.
Many people in Egypt fight against violations of human, and in particular, women´s rights. In my work, I approached Egyptian women from different social environments whose position in society depends on religion, education, age and socio-economic situation. This work explores the issue of what it means to be a woman in egypt today.
I am so thankful to all women I had the great pleasure to meet, listen to and learn from!
I received a grant from the german foundation “VG Bild Kunst” for this project. I was also award the “Grenzgänger” Scholarship from the Literarisches Colloqium Berlin and the Robert Bosch Foundation, and this work was supported by the Goethe Institute in Cairo.
To see all portraits and read all interviews and also wondeful essays by political scientist Hoda Salah and art historian Franziska Schmidt, please have a look at the book:
