The Shadow and The Maker

The Shadow and the Maker brings together Egyptian khayamiya, shadow puppetry inspired by the medieval tradition of khayal al-zill, and linoprints by Dr Sam Bowker to explore how heritage and imagination continue to shape one another.

From Cairo’s Tentmakers to Leeton, these works bridge centuries of tradition and storytelling. Each stitch, shadow, silhouette, and print honours the makers. From the hand-sewn shadow screen of Essam Ali to the intricate linoprints created by Dr. Bowker, The Shadow and the Maker reveals the living dialogue between artist and artisan, tradition and innovation.

As the Grand Egyptian Museum opens its doors, this exhibition reminds us that Egypt’s centuries-old traditions continue to evolve and resonate across the world.
