City of Fragments: Walking through Memory in Contemporary Cairo
Amid the violent urban transformations unfolding in Cairo — from demolitions and forced evictions to the erasure of the city’s landmarks — walking emerges as an alternative research methodology. It offers a way to understand the city through the body and senses, immersed in the details of place and memory. Here, walking is not merely a physical act, but a tool for critique and deconstruction — a sensory and temporal exploration that reveals absence as much as presence, and reexamines our familiar relationship with the city.
