Overview<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

The following 10 galleries<\/strong> represent Mona Serageldin’s analog slide collection on informal settlements in Cairo’s urban fringe, as arranged in box M01, “Cairo – Fringe – Informal Housing.”<\/strong>

Serageldin used original photography, projected from 35mm slides, to illustrate her lectures on the urban fringe of Cairo. Photographs illustrate housing conditions and the scope of public and private building projects in Helwan, through graphics, maps and photographs of residential settlements.

Galleries 1, 4, and 5<\/strong> include Teaching and Educational materials curated by Serageldin for lectures on housing and Cairo’s urban fringe settlements, with content ranging from 1968 to 2000, including a set of aerial panorama photography by Mohamed Youssef.

Galleries 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10<\/strong> offer a photographic tour of the informal settlements of Ghoneim<\/em> and Ghoneim North Coop <\/em>in the Helwan region, as well as urban fringe settlements in Abu Dahroug, El Hekr, Imbaba Moumira, Saft El Laban, and El Warraq regions, between 1980 and 1985.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
