The artist eL Seed has just returned from Egypt where he has been painting one of his most challenges pieces yet. A composite work painted on over 40 buildings in Cairo’s Zabaleen district. The amazing piece – shown in this picture – is called Perception and is intended to question people’s perception of the Zabaleen people of Cairo, who live on the waste tip but are actually some of the most resourceful people on the planet. eL Seed will be in conversation with Glenn Lowry the director of the Museum of Modern Art in New York about this project. Don’t miss it!
Tomorrow, 6.15pm at Fort lsland, Madinat Jumeirah, Art Dubai.
