Mohamed Gohar is an architect, artist, and researcher; Léon is a researcher and photographer. In their research on Alexandria, they are trying to introduce a new narrative and perspective of the city’s social and cultural fabric through text, drawing, and photography.

The project is an historical and social documentation of contemporary Alexandria and its different communities. A research on how people interact with the city, through the study of its spaces of interaction. Therefore, they will be focusing on downtown and the corniche as urban spaces of social diversity.  The project’s outcome would be in the form of exhibitions combining drawings, photographs, and narration. The idea is to simplify the data collected to make it accessible through artistic means. For further outreach of their work, they will also create an online platform to present the artistic work as well as quotes and stories from the communities of those neighbourhoods.
