Kites, Billboards and Bridges (KBB)

Azza Ezzat, Billboards 01, 2021- KBB project

“Kites, Billboards and Bridges” is a research project in which visual artist Azza Ezzat collaborated  with geographer Aya Nassar to trace objects, old and new, that populated  Cairo skies during COVID-19 lockdown. The project and the artwork was  funded by a Research Development Fund Grant from the Geography  Department in Durham University, UK (2020-2021).

The  project follows material and affective infrastructure of the air, and  asks what gets extended, suspended and disrupted during the COVID-19  Cairo Curfew of 2020. How do social and material infrastructures extend,  suspend and respond to the glitch of a curfew? And in what ways does  this glitch sit within ongoing and ordinary inhabiting the city?  Thinking with aerial infrastructures and the temporal disruption of a  curfew allows us to examine how urban interruptions, absences,  emptiness, silences are lived through.
