Born in Cairo

Born from a shared passion for Egypt's contemporary culture and creative energy, Portuguese photographer Francisco Narciso and Egyptian stylist Mazen Zaki set out to explore how a new wave of Cairo-based artists is shaping the city's creative landscape.

Shot in Cairo with an entirely Egyptian roster of local collaborators, Born in Cairo celebrates the confident, raw, and distinctive voices emerging from the intersection of historical legacy and cultural reinvention in the bustling streets of the Egyptian capital.
