Lecture:
What is the purpose of your trip to Egypt?、2018I have been participating since the yearThe Japan Foundation's overseas traveling exhibition "Tokyo Before/After"for events related to。The exhibition has so far traveled to 19 cities around the world.、I wrote last JulyArticle on exhibition in Croatiathe street of、As an exhibitor, I didn't have much local information.。So I vaguely understood that they would be traveling to Egypt this year.、Actually, I didn't attach much importance to it.。Such occasion、A sudden email comes in from Egypt。In a nutshell、It was a request to hold a lecture and workshop in conjunction with the exhibition in Cairo, Egypt.。As I mentioned earlier、Until now, it has not been possible to actually view this exhibition on site.、I was also interested in the country of Egypt.、accept with two answers。However, I have no experience traveling to the African continent or the Middle East.、There is no knowledge of the country of Egypt or information on the local photography situation.。I was a little worried、After several online meetings via email and Zoom, the content of the event itself gradually became more concrete.。However, as the schedule for entering the field approached,、new facts are reported。It was a matter of customs clearance due to a change in Egyptian law.、The works to be exhibited are still in the airport.、It was said that the exhibition would not be held in time during my stay there.。……Is it possible?、I haven't even held an exhibition.、How many people are interested in lectures and workshops by stray photographers in the Far East? Anyway, as the other party wishes、He said he wanted me to come to Cairo and hold an event regardless of whether the exhibition was held or not.、19 hours from Narita Airport via Dubai、I landed in Cairo。

Originally an exhibition hallMokhtar Museumwas scheduled to be held in、The exhibition was held at the Japan Foundation office in a hurry because it was too late for the exhibition.。
I was worried about attracting customers in such circumstances、Almost full seats on the day。50A number of people attended。happy!

The two-hour lecture ended on a high note.。Everyone who participated、Management staff、Thank you for。When the exhibition was held、I would also like to see that。
