Here, The Doors Don’t Know Me
by Mohamed Mahdy
Mohamed Mahdy’s project offers an interactive virtual tour of El Max, Egypt, exploring the city’s evolving landscape while preserving the personal stories of its residents before transformation is complete. The project captures the delicate balance between change and memory, bringing the community’s narrative to life.
“I am really impressed by Mohamed Mahdy’s commitment to his project. His different storytelling methods beautifully capture the lives of the people he follows. It’s inspiring to see how much time and effort he puts into this important work, and I believe this grant could help him expand it”.
