Elles Publishing House hosted the workshop “Women and the City | Personal Maps” with trainer Mona El-Naggar, beginning the day with an introduction to journaling and its importance as a space for understanding oneself and daily experiences in the city.
During the workshop, participants explored examples from Mona’s personal journals and learned about different types of paper, materials, and creative expression techniques. They then went on a free walking tour around Maadi, collecting natural elements from the streets and surroundings to incorporate into their personal journaling and creative work.
The day offered a rich experience of discovery, filled with pages that tell the stories of women in the city, in a safe space that encouraged observation and personal expression.
