"This book examines the role of artists in Egypt during the 2011 revolution, when street art from graffiti to political murals became ubiquitous facets of revolutionary spaces. Through interviews, personal testimonies, and accounts of the lived experience of 25 street artists, the book explores the meaning of art in revolutionary political contexts, specifically by focusing on artistic production during 'liminal' moments as the events of the Egyptian revolution unfolded. The author privileges the perspective of the actors themselves to examine the ways that artists reacted to events and conceived of their art as means to further the goals of the revolution. Based on fieldwork conducted in the years since 2011, the book provides a narrative of Egyptian artists' participation in and representations of the revolution, from hopeful beginnings to the subsequent crackdown and election of al-Sisi" --

The 'Woman at the Window' Came from Egypt investigates the origin of ivory plaques found in the Assyrian palaces of Nimrud and Khorsabad from the first millennium BCE. It provides a completely new interpretation of the famous iconography of the 'Woman at the Window'. This collection of ivories, traditionally labelled as 'Phoenician', is thought to have originated from locations across the Levant. However, the Egyptian Nile Delta appears to be a more accurate locale. Pharaohs of the Third Intermediate Period, especially those of the 25th dynasty, may have commissioned them to help legitimise their fragile positions.

L'exposition 'Expéditions d'Égypte' racontera l'histoire de deux siècles de découvertes archéologiques fascinantes au Pays des Pharaons et de la formation de la collection égyptienne du Musée. Au 19e siècle, les milieux diplomatiques et industriels belges s'intéressent vivement au passé de l'Égypte, qui occupe alors une place importante dans la politique internationale et l'économie mondiale. Les premiers objets égyptiens de la collection étaient principalement des dons royaux et privés. Dans les premières décennies du 20e siècle, l'ambitieux et flamboyant égyptologue Jean Capart joua un rôle inestimable dans le développement de la collection et de la recherche scientifique. Grâce aux nombreuses initiatives de Capart, Bruxelles fût même un temps considérée comme la capitale mondiale de l'égyptologie. Après près de deux cents ans de profond intérêt pour l'ancienne Égypte, le Musée Art & Histoire gère aujourd'hui une collection égyptienne d'une richesse exceptionnelle qui se classe parmi celles des meilleurs musées européens. L'exposition rassemblera près de 200 objets issus de cette prestigieuse collection égyptienne. Parmi les objets phares figureront les sarcophages richement décorés de la Cachette des prêtres de Deir el-Bahari, ainsi que le Livre de Morts, magnifiquement illustré, du haut dignitaire Neferrenpet.
