Egyptian artist pays tribute to singing legend Umm Kulthum

An exhibition by artist Mustafa Rahma at Picasso Art Gallery in Zamalek is paying tribute to legendary Egyptian singer Umm Kulthum. Rahma’s stunning works in "Gomhour El Set" art show lament “a period that will never come back again,” expressing nostalgia for “the period when you could rarely find women wearing the hijab or niqab, or men sporting beards,” Rahma tells Al Monitor. The exhibition is open until 16 April, every day from 10:30 am until 9:00 pm, except on Sundays.
