About The Project
March 2025 – Ongoing; funded by Ford Foundation and under the supervision of the Ministry of Social Solidarity.
Bayn is a project that centers the local community in shaping the narrative and guiding decisions across three heritage sites in Historic Cairo. Based on needs identified through on-ground research and refined through collaborative workshops, the interventions are being shaped with the community, not just for them. The project operates in three neighbourhoods: Al-Khalifa Street, Qalat al-Kabsh, and Al-Imam al-Shafii Cemetery
Bayn works on three fronts:
Reclaiming in-between neglected spaces for community use.
Documenting and sharing interlinked oral histories of families in the community.
Supporting communities to lead local change by helping with placemaking, decision-making, and planning for the future.
Bayn Project seeks what lies between the alive and the forgotten — to bring those spaces, stories, and voices into our shared vision.
