Classics and Colonial Presences in Egypt Podcast
by Heba Abd el Gawad and Usama Ali Gad.
Description: Shivaike Shah talks to Dr Heba Abd El Gawad from University College London and Dr Usama Ali Gad from Ain Shams University in Cairo about the colonisation of Egyptology and its legacy in the modern museum and university. While Western museums have been eager to highlight what the many Egyptian objects in their possession tell us about the ancient civilisation, those objects’ continued presence reveals more about the modern colonial relationship between Egypt and Europe than their connection in the classical past.
