Ziad Gadou - Egypt's Migrants in the Gulf

Описание: 27-year-old Ziad was born in Egypt, migrated with his family to Saudi Arabia at the age of five then to Oman at the age of 12, and now lives in the UAE. Ziad discusses memories of trips home to Port Said, anti-Egyptian racism in the Gulf, and the transformative experience of re-connecting with Egypt during his mandatory military service.

This oral history exhibit is the third installment in an ongoing effort to document and showcase the experiences, histories, and memories of diverse migrants from Egypt and their descendants. Relying on a list of open-ended interview questions, Alya Osman explored the motivations, journey, challenges, and settlement of Egypt's migrants in Kuwait, Oman, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. She sought the perspectives of first-generation immigrants from urban centers across Egypt who migrated in the second half of the 20th century. Interviews range in length, from 20 - 50 minutes, and are presented in the format chosen by the interviewee - video, audio, or textual transcript.
