The deeply personal, yet public projects you see on here are the outcome of the workshop facilitated by Farah Wael Hallaba "Collaborative Anthropology Workshop; Family & Life History, class identity and Liminality" in which participants got introduced to the world of social anthropology and learnt how they can use its methodologies to look into their own family and life histories and write auto-ethnographies with the help of the inspiring, experienced and extremely helpful guest speakers who took part in some of the sessions; Lucie Ryzova, Joao Pina Cabral, Shahd Al Rawi, Samar Dwidar, and Noha Fikry.
The main theme throughout the 2-months duration of the workshop was the Egyptian middle class culture in family context but with such a rich and insightful topic, the discussions, naturally, branched out into a multitude of other topics that touched on both the contrasting and common aspects of our shared life in Egypt.
This website is meant to be live and ongoing, this collaborative workshop probing into the Egyptian middle class families will continuously be organised and its outcomes will be added to the site.
But we also welcome and invite you to be part of this project that attempts to contribute to decolonizing knowledge in Egypt, where we can provide bottom up anthropological/socio-historical knowledge about our experiences. You can be part of the workshops, or you can send us family pictures to keep it archived and alive, or send us blogs to "Sofra, Yummy" and share with us stories about dishes or meals that are part of your middle class family experience. This blog could be visual or written.

هذه المبادرة هي دعوة من فريق الورشة لتجميع مواد بصرية (صور، فيديو، وثائق، الخ...) عائلية قديمة من مختلف أنحاء مصر. من خلال الورشة، اكتشفنا أن المواد البصرية العائلية هي مصادر أساسية وخصبة لمعرفة سياقات وتواريخ وعادات وتفاصيل مختلفة عن عائلتنا وحتى عن ناس منعرفهمش. قررنا أن نفتح المبادرة للعامة لتقديم أرشيفاتهم وأرشيفات عائلتهم لتكوين أرشيف بصري حي متاح للبحث أو للمطالعة ومفتوح للعامة. بالرجاء ارسال أي معلومات أو حقائق مهمة عن المواد المرسلة إذا أمكن. م
