{"id":195,"count":1,"description":"Maram Mahmoud Thabet is an Egyptian visual artist, fashion designer, academic lecturer, and researcher in expressive arts and cultural anthropology based in Cairo, Egypt. With more than 15 years of experience in artistic practice, fashion design, and academic research, she seeks to create designs that honor heritage while engaging contemporary audiences. Her work aims to open a dialogue between past and present, tradition and innovation, individual expression and collective culture, while exploring the relationship between traditional fashion, visual arts, heritage, and cultural identity.\r\nHer artistic vision is inspired by Arab and African heritage, folk ornamentation, and women\u2019s narratives, employing collage techniques, mixed media, and contemporary visual expression to reinterpret traditional symbols through a modern artistic language. She believes that fashion and costume are historical documents of societies, carrying memory and social identity alongside their artistic and functional value.\r\nShe has participated in local and international art exhibitions and cultural conferences, including the Annual General Exhibition at the Cairo Opera House, as well as exhibitions in Malaysia, Luxor, and Cairo. She has also conducted workshops and training programs in fashion design, visual arts, and cultural heritage in collaboration with universities, museums, and Egyptian cultural institutions.\r\nHer artistic practice focuses on blending traditional craftsmanship with contemporary expression while highlighting Arab and African visual identity through art, fashion, and scenography.","link":"https:\/\/weladelbalad.org\/ateliermasr\/product-category\/maram-mahmoud-thabet\/","name":"Maram Mahmoud Thabet","slug":"maram-mahmoud-thabet","taxonomy":"product_cat","parent":0,"meta":[],"menu_order":0,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/weladelbalad.org\/ateliermasr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat\/195","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/weladelbalad.org\/ateliermasr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/weladelbalad.org\/ateliermasr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/product_cat"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/weladelbalad.org\/ateliermasr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product?product_cat=195"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
