Museum Curator & Heritage Specialist @ Museum of Islamic Art, Cairo, Egypt
About
With over 12 years of experience in curation, museum education, and public engagement, I specialise in creating experiences that make cultural heritage meaningful to the communities it belongs to.My work spans exhibition development, audience-centred programme design, and heritage interpretation. Across projects in Egypt, the MENA region, and internationally, the focus has always been the same: connecting people to their cultural identity through storytelling and inclusive practice.As a PhD candidate in Heritage & Museum Studies, my research and practice are deeply intertwined, exploring how museums can be spaces of genuine community participation, not just cultural display.I believe the most powerful heritage work happens when institutions are brave enough to listen before they speak.
