The Visual Meal is an exhibition organized and curated by Art on the Go for the opening of KAFEIN.

"In a plural and diverse culture such as Egypt, we constantly feed on an mélange of iconographies. Visual culture is no more the effect of painting and sculpture than the artist is the sole image producer of society. At Art On The Go’s second exhibition, “The Visual Meal,” three artists will serve us a visual meal made from a cultural fusion of imagery that engages Egyptian heritage, exposure to the West, and nouveau riche flamboyance. Old and vintage advertisements and articles from Egyptian magazines are rediscovered in Menna Genedy’s collage paintings. Amal Salah’s pieces combine mixed media to express her fascination with both classic and aspiring films. Last but not least, Amy Arif examines the Gulf’s bourgeois aesthetics and obsession with showing off richness and wealth through her mono-prints."

Art On The Go is a mobile exhibition and art market that drives around Egypt in a pick-up truck to discover a new visual encounter. Art On The Go aims to find a new territory for art that is located between the white cube and the political street art movement and beyond the centralization of the local art map.
