Dina Fahmy El Rouby: Myth of the 99

The Radical Contemporary Podcast

In this episode, our founder Nour Hassan speaks to artist, Dina Fahmy El Rouby.
She made it a life mission not to settle, and her adult life saw her traveling to several countries to broaden her experiences. In 2011, she fully embraced her artistic career. In 2020, and after nine editions of the” Colours of Egypt Exhibition,” Dina Fahmy and her three artist colleagues Farida Darweesh, Rasha Ghaleb, and Farida El Kouni, decided to open their own art gallery, CLEG Art Gallery.
Dina Fahmy's paintings stretch across continents: at the Egyptian Embassy in Germany, the Egyptian Cultural Center in Paris, the Egyptian Cultural Office in Vienna, the Hassan El Sharq Museum, in Menya, and customers in the UAE, USA, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Switzerland, Spain, UK, Italy and Canada. Her art appeared at the Dubai EXPO 2020 as part of CLEG Gallery's exhibit at the Egypt Pavilion. She is also set to show at the NEMC - National Egyptian Museum of Civilization and the Egyptian Embassy in Denmark later this year.
In 2022 Dina Fahmy launched an NFT project “Myth of the 99” as one of the first artists in Egypt and the region to traverse into the realm of Web 3.0. Myth of the 99 will appear as a physical solo exhibition this May 21st 2022 at CLEG Gallery in Cairo. The exhibition will include informative talks on the topic of NFTs, as the regional art community dives into the world of Web 3.0. Dina intends on giving a talk, to help educate and spread knowledge on this emerging medium and market.
