Everyone plays a conscious or unconscious role in imposing the permanent state of
censorship that we experience in Cairo. We often find ourselves restricted by the closest ones
to us before even having to face society's constraints, and auto-censorship appears to be the
only easy way to hide our differences and blend into the crowd. Before it took an artistic form, Cairography was fragments of stories collecting the experiences of two non-Egyptian women/friends questioning their relationship to the city of Cairo and the modality of their presence in her streets. Through Cairography, we attempt to test the limits of the body's ability to confront societal restriction, and to question the visible and invisible boundaries between public and private space in the city of Cairo: What is it like to walk the streets of Cairo? What is allowed and what is forbidden?
