Part I
Cultural Continuity: The persistence or consistent existence of cultural elements in society across time.
Continuity can also be referred to as the maintenance of the traditions and social structures that bring
stability to a society.
Read this short blog on Egyptian Continuity and
(http://arthistoryjournal.blogspot.com/2010/02/onegyptian-continuity-and-permanence.html) Permanence and answer the following questions. Provide short
answers (2-3 sentences).
1. Steve Wright discusses several ideas that were rooted in Egyptian culture at the time and which
influenced Egyptian art. What are some of these ideas?
2. Western society has privileged realistic art over other types of art in the past, perpetuating the idea
that “good” art is realistic and “bad” art is not realistic. However, when we read into the ideas that
influenced the way different cultures decided to express themselves visually, we see that not
everyone strived to create realistic and perfect representations of what they saw in nature.
According to this blog, why weren’t Egyptians interested in sketching nature as it appeared to
them?
Part II
Choose a contemporary Egyptian artist from below and describe the role of cultural continuity in their
work. How does the artist engage with Egyptian history? Are they trying to preserve it, critique it,
challenge it, or change it? Choose one of their artworks that speaks to you and explain why you chose it
(please include an image of chosen work). Write at least two paragraphs.

Alaa Awad
Assignment 11: Continuity and Permanence in Egyptian Art
(http://alaa-awad.com/) came to the forefront of Cairo’s graffiti scene in 2012 when he
painted a Port Said massacre
(http://www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/egyptsource/the-port-saidmassacre-a-photo-essay) memorial mural. His concern with retaining and reviving Egyptian identity is
immediately apparent in his so-called ‘Neo-Pharoanic’ iconographic style. By utilizing Egyptian
heritage, Awad places current political issues within the linear trajectory of Egyptian history. The
ruler and the ruled, the oppressor and the oppressed; these persistent binaries are nowhere more
overt and questioned than in Alaa Awad’s spectacular wall murals.
Shrouk El Attar
(https://www.shro.uk/)
Shrouk Al Attar is a UK-based Egyptian queer woman who, like many Arab and North African
LGBTQI+ individuals, fled to the west seeking refuge from queerphobia in Egypt.
Her act, The Dancing Queer, in which she dons a beard and dances in drag, has become a powerful
expression of dissent and protest against homophobia and transphobia in conservative Arab culture.
In addition to raising awareness about the serious human rights violations against queer Egyptians,
Al Attar uses the proceeds from the act to pay for legal fees for members of Egypt’s LGBTQI+
community who are imprisoned for their sexual orientation or gender identity.
She is also a fierce defender of refugees and asylum seekers in the UK. Her work on behalf of
refugee communities has earned her the title Young Woman of the Year by UNHCR, the UN
Refugee Agency & Migrants Organise in 2018, as well as a spot on BBC’s 100 Women.
