This blog was made as a travel diary for my personal impressions and experiences during the month I spent in France back in 2010. It was my first trip abroad. That artist residency was a part of The J.M Liverato Project; a cultural exchange program between ZINC/ECM in France and Studio Emad Eddin Foundation (SEE) in Egypt.
