Ibrahim Shaheen Defends Art Retirement as Respected Profession

Elham Shaheen focused in her talk on the idea that art is a noble profession deserving pride and honor. She rejected describing artists' retirements as "repentance," emphasizing that artistic work does not necessitate regret or stopping appreciation. She pointed out that Egyptian art faced criticism during the rule of the Muslim Brotherhood, and she defended it and her colleagues through legal means, explaining that a court ruling sentenced those who attacked artists to three years in prison and closed the hostile channel. She considered this a victory for Egyptian art. She also affirmed that the film "Souk Al-Mut'ah" is one of the late Wahid Hamed's most important works and requires a full understanding of its philosophical and intellectual dimensions. She called for developing talents and focusing on culture and knowledge to enhance artists' capabilities and produce valuable works.
