Between Memory and Light

Between Memory and Light invites the audience into an immersive visual journey guided by Egyptian artist Romany Hafez. He explores how light, silence, and heritage merge to form a distinctive black and white language where human presence softens and architecture seems to breathe. Blending fine art photography with cultural preservation, Hafez traces the influence of Coptic heritage, desert spaces, and spiritual resonance on his practice. This is less a technical lecture and more an invitation to feel how memory, time, and faith meet within each frame, revealing photography as a bridge between the seen and the unseen.

What you will take away:
• Practical ways to use light and silence to shape mood and meaning in black and white work
• Insight into weaving cultural memory and place into a cohesive visual language
• A framework for reading space and architecture as living subjects in photographic storytelling

Who this is for:
• Photographers and visual artists seeking deeper conceptual grounding
• Curators, educators, and students interested in heritage informed practice
• Anyone drawn to contemplative imagery, architecture, and the poetics of place
