Prof. Nermine Sabry, the Director of the Egyptian Cultural and Educational Attache and the director of the Bureau had the pleasure of attending a special artist talk and studio tour with the incredibly talented Baltimore-based artist, Jackie Millad. This inspiring event was hosted by BmoreArt in collaboration with the American Research Center in Egypt (ARCE) on November 23, 2024.
Jackie Millad, who beautifully merges her Egyptian and Honduran heritage, brought her unique perspective to the conversation. During the talk, she delved into the complex legacies of collecting ancient Egyptian artefacts and examined the ongoing consequences of colonialism within museum practices. Her insights into how the displacement of Egyptian heritage affects both contemporary Egyptian and diasporic communities highlighted an urgent need to reframe these critical narratives.
This event not only showcased Jackie’s incredible work but also opened up essential dialogues about culture, identity, and history. We are grateful to everyone involved for fostering such meaningful discussions and for their commitment to promoting cultural understanding and appreciation.
