Mission Statement

The #Koshk Project is an urban study and art project about Egypt's koshks (kiosks) - get in touch to tell us about your favourite Koshk! koshkproject@gmail.com

Description
Koshks embody Egyptian cities in their 'organised chaos' and play an integral part in the lives of all city-dwelling Egyptians as source for the necessary.
Join Koshk as they embark on a study of how Koshk owners see themselves as part of the neighbourhood, how as consumers we depend on them and the imprint they leave on the city.
