CAIRO Art of Noise Workshop!

Art of noise workshop from Sarah Seliman on Vimeo.


In February 2013 I went back to Cairo to lead a one-week workshop on sound art called 'The Art of Noise'. It was almost like going back home, when meeting my driver Mohamed at Cairo airport. Many intense memories came back to my mind from my five months residency last year in the big Nile city.



The workshop was curated by Yara Mekawei with financial support from Swiss Arts Council.
All participants did a fantastic job. We spent an incredible creative and warm hearted friendly week together. Thank you so much for this great experience:
