Yasmine El Meleegy

Sat, Sep 13, 2025 - Nov 9, 2026
500 Sampsonia 

REGISTER FOR THE OPENING RECEPTION SEPT. 12

Yasmine El Meleegy is an Egyptian multidisciplinary artist and sculptor living and working in Cairo who is also a time-traveling archaeologist. Through her work, She creates participatory events to instantiate counter-narratives. Her work is concerned with the representation of history, repair and materiality in relation to histories of places such as her latest performative intervention at Stephenson’s 100-year-old pharmacy in downtown Cairo "Scaffolding a Familiar Epoch.“

Her practice stems from a personal impulse to fix and mend, an act which both staves off, and confirms the certainty of loss. Approaching defunct, damaged household items with painstaking care, she seeks to restore an object's emotional and historic resonance by repairing its physicality by creating monumental installations and artifacts as archaeological sites of the future.
