•Workshop Principles: In al-Khalifa inside out 1, a map has been drawn in front of Ibn-Tulun mosque to guide visitors to al-Khalifa Street’s most significant features, both historical and contemporary, tangible and intangible. al-Khalifa inside out 2 aims to implement this map to al-Khalifa Street by using mural art along the street. A special (artistic) signage for every land-use in the street will be designed and painted on its wall. A field research will be made by the participants before the design phase in order to reach a design that expresses the land-use characteristics. Finally, participants would print and paint their designed mapping items on the streets walls above each space.

•Workshop Instructor: Azza Ezzat is a Cairo based visual artist with an architectural background, graduated from department of Architecture Ein-shams University 2003, and started practicing Art 2009. She is interested in exploring urban clusters. Her practice involves deconstructed elements in multi-intersected layers, using only Black & white. Redrawing Cities’ maps through people’s impressions is her recent goal. She is concerned with recording the movements and repetitions in Cities’ daily life. Through the work, she tries to recognize the emergent relationship between the organic human behavior and the strict regulated city clusters. Pen and Ink on Large Canvas are the mediums she usually use to produce her artwork.
