This is an interview I conducted with Gramophones, a performance art space, manager, Amira Nakkib. She tells me what Gramophone adds to the community, and what it can offer, and explains the concept of an art space perfectly.

Art in a new light promo

This is a interview I conducted with Professor Ashraf Fouad, a music professor at the American University in Cairo. He explains the difference between a trained musician and a non trained musician and gives his perspective on the matter.

Dr Ashraf Fouad, a trained musicians perspective

This an 8 minute audio documentary that aims to shed a light on the differences found in the art worlds of both Egypt and the United Arab Emirates, a country ridden by political instability and a failing economy compared to a large and bustling metropolitan city with access to near infinite resources. Specifically in regards to acceptance of new entrants.
