Read, Make, Play

Hekayyatna presents a night of Egyptian craft, zines, and games at the Egypt Exploration Society.

An open-door evening for anyone curious, structured around three ways in. In the entrance area, Esmat Publishing curates a browse-and-linger reading zone featuring zines, posters, and small publications from Egypt, highlighting the country's contemporary alternative publishing scene. In the main room, artists KIRO and Yasmine Khadim lead facilitated craft workshops, each rooted in a specific tradition with deep Egyptian historical roots. Upstairs in the library, ancient and contemporary Egyptian games are laid out for anyone who wants to play: from Senet to the present day. Come for one strand, stay for all three.
