Mokattam is a range of hills and a suburb in southeastern Cairo, Egypt. The western side became a space for informal streetbars arranged by nearby residents. Locally known as a low-key meeting point for youth where to drink tea (shay) and smoke shisha, Mokattam is one of the most mesmerizing locations to glimpse the sun setting on the dusty sky of Cairo. Following the end of 2022 and the beginning of 2023, the side facing the sunset has witnessed gradual and, by now, almost complete privatization, mainly by construction companies, leaving no public and accessible breach towards the city’s horizon. The progressive privatization of informal spaces as it is happening, among many others contexts, in Mokattan gave me a chance to reflect on the landscape and the progressive loss of intangible heritages. This ongoing project aims to borrow tools and techniques of phygital storytelling (AR+geolocation), and processes of qualitative participated research methods to bridge the constant changes in urban landscapes and the ethereal memory of its past. By inviting the collectivity (initially throughout Meta’s products and TickTok users) to share their photos, video and audio memories of the place, the project will function as a virtualgeobased gallery from which it will still be possible to glimpse the sun setting on Cairo’s horizon.
