Film Screening: Adham Faramawy 'The Cyclamen and the Cedar'

Adham Faramawy works across media works exploring the entanglement of land, rivers and migratory flow through history, mythology and flora. Through body, gesture and movement, their performance for camera pieces explore ideas of borders, boundaries, and fluid subjectivities centring the nuanced and complex relationships between marginalised bodies and place. Faramawy is an Egyptian artist based in London. They have screened and exhibited their work at Guggenheim Museum, New York; Tate Modern and Tate Britain, London; Serpentine Gallery, London, and Chapter Gallery, Cardiff. They were shortlisted for the Film London Jarman Award 2021 and 2017, were the recipient of the Frieze London Artist Award 2023 and is currently artist in residence at Kettle’s Yard.
