In 2010 I created and directed a project called Uncoverd in Cairo, I did this in collaboration with Mayada Said from Darb1718 contemporary art gallery and the finantial suport of the Spanish Embasy in Cairo.
The project consisted on 3 workshops, a fashion show, a photography exhibition and an art exhibition.It had the perticipation of arround 50 Egyptian students, and a record of attendance to the fashion show with arround 1000 people.
Here you have some of my own fashion recycled works, I will enter also the work of the students on another post, as well as the video of the fashion show.
