No Nile View marks the first major solo exhibition of Swiss-Egyptian artist Noha Mokhtar in London. A visual exploration of domestic spaces in Cairo, personal memories, and possible futures, the exhibition brings together a series of photographs alongside a site-specific work. With projects that blend fiction and non-fiction, Mokhtar seeks to critically engage with notions of culture, family, gender, and the built environment.

Noha Mokhtar lives and works between Zurich, Cambridge and Cairo. She studied photography at ECAL in Lausanne and Anthropology and Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Bern. Currently she is pursuing a Ph.D in Social Anthropology and Critical Media Practice at Harvard University in Cambridge, where she conducts research on the relationship between architecture, kinship and materiality in contemporary Egypt. Her artistic practice includes photography, video and installation as well as writing, and borrows from methods of ethnographic research.

Curated by Gema Darbo and presented by Apsara Studio.
