Judith Barry: Cairo Stories | Gender and art | Scoop.it

Waterside Contemporary is pleased to present …Cairo stories, a video and photographic installation by Judith Barry, and her first solo exhibition at the gallery.


Created from a collection of more than 200 interviews Barry conducted with Cairene women between the US invasion of Iraq in 2003 and the beginning of the Egyptian Revolution in 2011, …Cairo stories is a series of short video monologues. The selection of stories chronicles personal experiences of women from a variety of social and economic classes in Egypt and expands the artist’s concerns with notions of representation, history, subjectivity, and translation – particularly as these ideas circulate across cultures.
