The Real Queens of Egypt

"The Real Queens of Egypt" is a photography project that centers on ordinary hardworking women in Egypt.

All AUArts students, faculty and staff are invited. 

The project scopes on the different layers of Egypt’s social classes/divisions, and it challenges the false perception that our society, even though mainly patriarchal, is led by men. This project is a quest to retell and honour these women’s stories and fragments of their daily realities of making a living. It peeks into a speck of their powerful leading positions within an unforgiving society.

Sarah Sultan is a visual artist and image activist specializing in documentary photography focusing on social justice and cultural art. She uses visual storytelling and photojournalism to narrate inclusive and accessible imagery that inspires and fosters social change and transformation. Sarah uses her art as a medium that echoes and illustrates fragments of everyday lived realities in an authentic and transforming way that celebrates our diverse cultural and social identities.
