🌟Exhibition and bookselling

Family Portraits was born out of Creatrix, a dance performance, where Mona El Husseini and her mother, Hala Farahat, share stories about their upbringing in Cairo
and Alexandria. Hala tells Mona about her ancestors – who Mona never met – and Mona archives their tales. Mona started painting portraits of her family members as a way to grow closer to them. She documented those anecdotes in a playful practice that combines words with drawing. Family Portraits is a dedication to the ones who passed, and the ones who still play.
