Cairo is Eating Me
Amal Kenawy evolved an expansive practice concerned with personal history, memory and the performative power of artistic representation. Works by the late multimedia artist display the use of her own physical and psychological portraits as a conduit to explore questions of power, violence and suppression. Cairo is Eating Me (year unknown) unfolds concertina style to display her notes, plans and innermost thoughts.
