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.

الفتة بصلصة ولا من غير صلصة؟

Updated: Dec 30, 2020

مرة في الورشة بدأنا نتكلم عن الأكل، و ظهرت طبعا خناقة اسكندرية احسن ولا القاهرة. بس المرة دي الخلاف ظهر على شكل طبق فتة. الفتة أكلة مصرية مهمة بالذات في العيد الكبير (عيد الأضحى) او بنقوله في مصر عيد اللحمة. اول يوم العيد الكل (الي يقدر) لازم ياكل فتة لحمة.

طول عمري انا و كل الي من القاهرة بناكلها بصلصة - يعني بتكون لحمة و رز و صلصة و شوربة على العيش المحمص

و الناس الي من اسكندرية قرروا اننا لازم نعرف و نجرب الفتة من غير صلصة

و عزمتنا نرمين على فتة من غير صلصة و فتة بصلصة و كمان فتة عدس. طبعا الخلاف منتهاش، كل وحد مقتنع ان فتته هي الأصل، بس الأكل جمعنا .. و من الكلام عن الأكل الوحد بيعرف انه الوجبات بتشيل قصص و تاريخ سفر و هجرة و ثقافة ..
