The Tahrir CultureFest 2026 kicks off with the opening of four exhibitions: I Don’t Know Who I Am Anymore by Hassan Ragab, Time Will Tell, Anah: Conversations with AI, and Future C—AI—RO.

These openings lead into a captivating projection light show, “Whispers of the Walls,” where the walls of AUC Tahrir Square become storytellers. Created by Lumino Experience Studio, the exhibition features art, creative direction and projection mapping. Through light and projection, the historic facades reveal the journey of the building from its first sketches and construction to its life as a place of learning and culture. As light moves across the architecture, the rhythm of Cairo begins to emerge, and the narrative expands beyond the campus to the city itself. The experience then moves into the present and looks toward the future, imagining a brighter, more harmonious Cairo while honoring the history written within these walls.
