"Cairography" is a video dance performance that showcases four non-Egyptian female friends discussing the Body as it is subjected to socio-political pressure and spatial constraints in the city of Cairo. Inspired by a graffiti slogan found on the walls of Cairo - "The Street is Ours!" - the project questions the visible and invisible restrictions between public and private spaces as it confront the Body and the women’s varying approaches to claiming their agency.
