A new exhibition called Cairo. Open City: New testimonies from an ongoing revolution opened on 27 September at the Museum of Photography in Braunschweig, Germany. Audiences can examine photography and visual arts from the 16 months of Egypt's ongoing revolution.

The exhibition, which runs until 23 December, features works by activists, photographers, artists and curators from Egypt, as well as works resulting from a student exchange programme between Egypt, France and Germany. Ahram Online provides a small glimpse of the comprehensive exhibition.
