Egyptian Parliament, Visiting Delegation to Australia
I was fortunate enough to meet an international delegation of Cabinet Ministers from Egyptian Parliament at a private residence in Brighton this week. The Ministers came to Australia to create connections with Egyptians abroad and to formulate strategies to enable a greater generation of Egyptian youth and increase economic stability and opportunity between Egypt and Australia.
Currently there are over 100 women in Egyptian parliament, far exceeding the percentage of female representation in Australian federal parliament! I had the pleasure of meeting these inspiring women, Dr Marianne Azer MP (picture 2) who earned her doctorate in software engineering, lectures at university and was internationally recognized as one of the top 100 women in the field of cyber security and she's under 40! The Honourable Nabila Makram who is the minister for immigration and Egyptian abroad (Picture 1, Centre) is an advocate for women's right and equality in political representation.
Mr Mohammed El Sewedy (picture 3), leader of the house of representatives in the Egyptian parliament and an advocate for Renewable energy in Egypt. And Dr Anisa Hassouna MD who has worked for over 20 years to deliver health services and hospitals to women in rural and disadvantaged communities. So incredibly proud to have met these distinguished members of Egyptian Parliament. As professional Egyptian women, they are making an unprecedented impact in the political space, their dedication and commitment is an inspiration to us all!

International Academic Forum Conference, Dubai 2017, (IAFOR)
"‘Beyt El Hekma’, The House of Wisdom: The Legacy of Arabic Science, Interdisciplinarity and Contemporary Art Practice" Presented at the International Academic Forum Conference, Dubai 2017, (IAFOR) examining "East Meets West, Discovery and Innovation"
The Arab-Islamic Empire historically evidences interdisciplinary approaches to knowledge production and scholarship. This was realised with vast success during a period of intellectual expansion, religious tolerance and philosophical inquiry known as the Golden Age. One of the greatest innovations of this knowledge-based economy was the interdisciplinary approach to knowledge-production, which informs innovative approaches to contemporary art practice and scholarship today. The medieval Arab scholars were the greatest of their epoch and the Arab Empire the most intellectually advanced, culturally and globally influential society of its time. “The House of Wisdom” (Arabic “beyt Al-hekma”) was established during the Abbasid dynasty as an intellectual hub that would see the Medieval Arabs go on to create original scholarship across the sciences, the arts, philosophy, astronomy and medicine. This would be the birthplace of interdisciplinary methodologies evident in the works Al Khawarizmi and Ibn Al Haytham. As a visual artist working across the mediums of experimental photography and installation-based digital practices, interdisciplinarity is vital in informing contemporary creative practices. My practice-based research converges philosophy, physics and technology to create work that augments, disrupts, and challenges our conceptions of time. My research highlights the unique capacity of art to expand knowledge domains by engaging interdisciplinary approaches informed by the historical tradition of interdisciplinarity in Arabic scholarship. The success historically exemplified by this interdisciplinary approach is a testament to the scope of the emergent creative and conceptual knowledge-production that is possible when new modalities of discovery are employed to inform and innovate contemporary knowledge domains.

Hall and Wilcox Art Prize
The Hall & Wilcox Art Prize is a national award given to one emerging Australian artist each year. I am proud to announce that I have been selected as a finalist for the 2016 Hall & Wilcox Art Exhibition and Acquisition Program to be held in Melbourne in November 2016. Stay tuned for more info!
Emergent Topographies
Using the scientific method of optical Microscopy, these artworks examine the process by which complexity arises from simplicity. The works explore how forms come into being through pattern formation and spatial non-equilibrium.
These photographic works fundamentally examine the consistent transition taking place within this continuum of difference by extracting a snippet of the morphogenic process. These works preserve a moment in time that would otherwise be lost, eternally irretrievable, activating deeper questions of emergence and the origins of how forms come into being.
