Art Omi Residency
Destination: Egypt → US
Itinerary: Mina will travel to the US to take part in an artistic residency at Art Omi. He will be working on his project on the environmental impacts of hydroelectric dams, with a focus on the loss of aquatic biodiversity in the Nile Valley. Towards this end, he will conduct a field study in New York state on the destruction of dams as a means to conserve aquatic ecosystems. His research will culminate in a textual and audiovisual exposition on water related issues connected with power and influence, conflict, pollution and migration using diagrams and illustrations, installation art and video. He will present this work in a collective exhibition at the end of the residency which will also afford him the opportunity to exchange expertise with artists and critics and to expand his network of professional relations.
