Waseem Emam @ Rome Art Week

Waseem Emam

I want to create a safe space for the story. There are symbols, sarcasms, but the most important is a human being in every scene. The audience is a partner in the interpretation, in crying & sometimes laughing, & that is the most precious thing about art..

Data and contact details

Waseem Emam is a visual artist born in Cairo in 1981. He is a member of the Egyptian Photographic Society (EPS) and a member of the Arab Photographers Union (UAP). He supports the Taa Marbouta campaign, the largest campaign to empower Egyptian women. He has participated in local and international exhibitions, winning numerous awards and appreciations. The conceptualism of Waseem Emam's artwork is mostly inspired by local societal reality with an oriental character and global women’s issues as well, these issues are carrying societal concepts in which women are discriminated against in society, and even force them to carry many burdens that hamper the development and keep them under a momentum of pressure. However, if Waseem Emam artwork in its appearance carries a kind of audacity and liberation, yet despite that, we can find he is always enthusiastic about addressing some of those societal problems that are kept silent under the pretext of shyness and society's customs and traditions. In fact, his artwork encourages dialogue and discussion around women's rights and gender equality via always finding safe and solution passages within those walls that hit around the whole subject.
