The “Artwork From the 1980s” exhibition in Cairo casts a fond glance at the Egyptian art scene of 30 years ago, when the government was the largest patron of the arts and folk art was a main trend.
Heba el-Moez, the director of Soma Art Gallery, told Al-Monitor, "We came up with this idea to give the audience an opportunity to see artwork from more than 30 years ago and see how Egyptian art has changed.”
