‘FROM FACEBOOK TO NASSBOOK’
(6 July - 8 September 2011)
‘From Facebook to Nassbook’ borrows its title from the method by which the people’s revolution was communicated via the internet and social media sites such as facebook and twitter, until a governmental intervention disabled the internet, resulting in a people’s revolution that was entirely communicated people to people through word of mouth – hence nassbook since ‘nass’ is the Egyptian-Arabic word for people.The exhibition attempts to capture the spirit of pre and post revolutionary Egypt with a focus on the power of such networks to cut across social classes, set down religious divisions and overcome intergenerational barriers.
‘From Facebook to Nassbook’ is dedicated to the memory of experimental artist Ahmed Bassiony who perished during the recent events in Cairo.
