Unsilencing Palestine - exhibition
Sunday, 19 November
Netherlands-Flemish Institute in Cairo, 1, Dr. Mahmoud Azmi Street Zamalek, Cairo
During the turbulence of the period after the First World War, Dutch photographer Frank Scholten (1881-1942) travelled to Palestine with the aim of producing an ‘illustrated bible.’ He first travelled through Italy and Greece in 1920, arriving in Palestine in 1921 where he would stay for two years. While the bulk of his photo collection consists of images of Palestine, his camera lens also gives us a wider snapshot of modernity in the Eastern Mediterranean.
The exhibition opens on Sunday 9 November at 7pm. After the opening, the exhibition can be viewed on weekdays by emailing [email protected] to book an appointment.
