A Red Thread Stuck in My Throat.
Lecture performance, 2019.
Al Shazly’s lecture deals with the representation of the self in the city, which can be seen as a vast fabric where activities flow on intra- and interactive levels by exploring different aspects of privacy and body performance in public and private spaces.
It is a compilation of Al Shazly's photographic and collage works that aim to express the limitations that humans experience in their lives. The focus is on identity and its relationship to the environment, be it the size of the city, urban density, location or current political issues.
Featured in the Faculty of Humanities in the Mellon 30th Anniversary Seminar Series, Mapping African Futures, on the topic of Art, chaired by Zen Marie, at University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg.
