The discussion with Khalifa is part of the Townhouse Salon, a monthly series of conversations that take place in Townhouse Library, and in which “a moderator – a writer, an artist, an academic –… is invited to curate a topic and share relevant texts with the public, to be deliberated upon in our gathering,” reads the event description on Facebook.

Tuesday 4 October, 6.30pm
Rawabet Theatre, 3 Hussein Al-Meamar St, Cairo, Egypt
