In this interview with Shadwa Ali, an Egyptian multidisciplinary artist, who is born in Alexandria, in 1990. tells us about her personal journey in major cities, and her relationship with sonic research and audio production. Her audio/visual art practice is based on psychologically exploring both social issues and human behavior, by deconstructing spaces of chaotic and noisy routines in cities like Cairo and Alexandria, in her work she manipulates her surrounding environment to reflect the futility of the urban processes of construction and deconstruction related to collective memory. Shadwa participated in a number of exhibitions and fellowships after her graduation from the Faculty of Fine Arts, Alexandria University 2012, such as the “Rozenama” studio program implemented by Medrar 2018, and the “We are data” fellowship program implemented by Cairotronica in cooperation with the Impact Festival 2019/2020, Cairo.
