Date: Tuesday, April 7
Time: 7:00 PM
Location: Pergola Arts Theatre – Child’s Park, Agouza (formerly 6th of October Park)

CLUSTER hosted on February 12th, 2026, its 28th session of the CLUSTER Talks series titled: “Making Away from Home: Work, Curiosity, and Craft in a New Country” by Artist and Content Maker Asem Kamal. This talk reflected on the experience of working and making in a country that is not one’s own. During Asem’s residency in Philadelphia, he navigated unfamiliar systems, spaces, and rhythms—learning how place reshapes process. Making by hand became a way to slow down, observe, and connect, both with materials and with people. Through a series of built objects and daily workshop encounters, he began to understand how curiosity, labor, and storytelling shift when one is outside one’s cultural and geographic comfort zone. The talk explored adaptation, creative humility, and how making can become a tool for listening, learning, and finding footing in a new environment.
Asem Kamal is a DIY maker and content creator who brings ideas to life with his hands. He shares his passion for making through engaging videos on his YouTube channel, where he has amassed over 27 million views and 3 million followers across all platforms. Asem produces high-quality content about crafting, from recycling and gardening to home furniture, inspiring others to unleash their inner maker!

CLUSTER hosted on January 15th, 2026 its 27th session of the CLUSTER Talks series titled: “Cairo Design Week: Inside the Design Bubble” by Architect Hana Sayed.
The talk examined Cairo Design Week as both a creative platform and an urban condition, situating the event within Cairo’s contested social and spatial landscape. It explored how CDW functions as a tool for visibility and cultural production while simultaneously producing moments of privatization and spectacle; raising questions around access, representation, and who the city is framed for during design week.
Hana Sayed is an architect at CLUSTER and a graduate of the German University in Cairo, with international academic experience in Berlin and Stuttgart. Her practice is grounded in sustainability, cultural and contextual continuity, and user-centered spatial design, seeking to bridge material innovation with human-centered solutions within the built environment.

CLUSTER is pleased to have participated in a compact workshop, exploring low-tech climate-adaptive solutions for heating and cooling of buildings, responding to rising temperatures, extreme weather phenomena and increasing energy costs. The workshop, “+ 2,5 Degree City - Lowtech solutions for indoor climate adaptation,” took place on 26-28 November 2025 at the Independent School of the City in Rotterdam. It is part of a longstanding collaboration between CLUSTER, AP+E and Loom, and their research on low-tech climate adaptations for housing in Cairo’s informal neighborhoods, with support of the Creative Industries Fund in the Netherlands.

The workshop on mapping urban visual culture in Lahore was organized between 10-22 Nov 2025, including interdisciplinary students and staff members, to engage the processes of production and reproduction of urban surfaces in and around the old city. It involved archival research, photo and video documentation, interviews with actors, and the development of an urban narrative. An exhibition was set up at the NCA campus to present the workshop outcome and engage students and faculty through critical and interactive discussions.
