About
Brussels-based aspiring Egyptian writer, researching contemporary editorial practices in the SWANA region, starting from the notion of censorship, social negotiations and the questions of "access".
Project
Al Fagwa / الفجوة (The Gap) is an experimental publication project that aims to explore the manufactured gap between censorship and "the street"; what is deemed publishable, speakable, and what is not. Through reimagined conversations with journalists, researchers and artists with lived experiences under systems of imposed censorship, the publication aims to open up questions on what it's like to live under and manoeuvre within today's increasingly oppressed world.
