Ongoing during the WIDH 2024 is an exhibition in the NYU Abu Dhabi Project Space, entitled “Being Borrowed: On Egyptian Migration to the Gulf.”
The exhibition results from an interdisciplinary and transnational collaboration. Curated by Farah Hallaba, Farida Youssef, and Ali Zaaray, the exhibition was first presented in Cairo in 2022, and featured twenty-one Egyptian artists. It is brought to NYUAD within the framework of the Research Kitchen “Al Mashhad” with the aim of reflecting on the new meanings taken by the artworks and narratives in this context—that of the host, rather than the home country.
