*Approaching Creative Expression after the 2011 Egyptian Revolution: Challenges and Possibilities for Current Scholarship* *Symposium and Working Group* June 8, 2019, Saturday 10:30 am to 6:00 pm New Seminar Room, St. John’s College, University of Oxford Accounts of Egyptian creative expression written during and immediately after the 2011 revolution primarily captured the profound senses of euphoria, optimism, awe, and novelty that marked this particular extraordinary moment. As these positive sentiments quickly turned into political exhaustion and depression, the need to situate emerging creative expression not only in a current revolutionary moment but in relation to broader historical, cultural, and global conditions became more pressing. This one-day interdisciplinary symposium serves as a starting point for a sustained working group that fosters critical discussion on approaching creative expression in contemporary Egypt. It includes scholars from a variety of disciplines who are currently working on substantial publications that focus on creative expression in Egypt during the last decade.
