‘The Cachette’ to take place at Darb 1718 on May 13

CAIRO – 12 May 2018: A multimedia group exhibition titled “The Cachette” will take place at Darb 1718 on Sunday, May 13. Six women will share their different works.

“The Cachette” will host paintings, photos and installations made by six female artists: Butheina Shalan, Salwa Rashad, Aliaa El-Gready, Noha Naguib, Hemat Rayan and Yasmine Hussein, along with the special participation of Marianne Fahmy.

“The Cachette” will showcase the results of a workshop that was attended by the six artists, who explored and researched what is known as "the archeology of women".

The exhibition’s displays in general are about feminine issues, such as to what extent a woman is connected to the space she lives in, her nature, collective memory, and the bond between memory, society and personal surroundings.

“The woman or female that we intend here is represented in the grander mother, which is Mother Nature. It therefore represents all of humanity. She is both man and woman,” stated Darb 1718 on the exhibition’s Facebook page.
