In solidarity with Gaza and in celebration of creativity, the exhibitions "Journey of a Life" and "Another Side of Things" opened at the Mahmoud Mokhtar Center. Under the auspices of the Ministry of Culture, the Fine Arts Sector—led by Dr. Mahmoud Hamed—launched two art exhibitions yesterday evening, Monday, October 12, 2026: "Journey of a Life" by artist Nahla El-Saadani (at the Isis Hall) and "Another Side of Things" by Dr. Doaa El-Desouky (at the Nahdet Misr Hall), both hosted at the Mahmoud Mokhtar Cultural Center. The opening was attended by Naji Al-Naji, Acting Head of the Palestinian Embassy in Egypt; writers Salwa Bakr and Ikram Youssef; Dr. Mai El-Telmissany; Shaimaa Abu Zeid, Director of the Mahmoud Mokhtar Cultural Center; and a large gathering of artists, intellectuals, and fine art enthusiasts. The exhibited works transport visitors into profound creative and philosophical realms, reflecting the richness and diversity of the Egyptian fine art movement. In a gesture embodying the humanitarian and social mission of art, the launch of these exhibitions coincided with the anniversary of the glorious October 6th Victory and the ongoing, tragic events unfolding in the Gaza Strip.
