While upper Egypt is seen as a society of POVERTY, IGNORANCE, DISEASE, and REVENGE, We hope to correct these MISCONCEPTIONS by representing the beauty of this land. It will also allow the audience to explore the connections between the current life of people in Upper Egypt and their ancestores: The Mighty Ancient Egyptians.
The project also empowers the MEMBERS OF the upper Egypt SOCIETY. It is designed to make them MORE CONFIDENT and PROUD OF THEIR IDENTITY AND THEIR ROOTS.
THE IMAGE is a tool of HUMAN COMMUNICATION. ANCIENT EGYPTIANS REALIZED THAT MORE THAN 7,000 YEARS AGO BY DEPICTING THEIR DAILY LIFE AND TRADITIONS ON THE WALLS OF THE TEMPLES.
