Kholeif will delve into work of Cairo-based activist collective Mosireen and share video works from artists including Wafaa Bilal, Huw Lemmey and Queer Technologies. Kholeif will also be screening clips from of Crop (2013) a creative documentary, which explores the role that images played in the Egyptian Revolution of 2011.
