Wissa Wassef Photo Gallery

Ramses Wissa Wassef, an Egyptian architect, was persuaded of the fundamental importance of creativity as a force to shape the society in which we live. Prompted by this conviction he started an educational and artistic experiment in 1941 which continues today, twenty six years after his death. The weavings exhibited in the Wissa Wassef Art Center are an example of the results of this experiment.
