Aida El-Oweidy (b. 1997) is a Cairo-based visual artist working through the mediums of text, drawing, installation, and performance. She employs speculative practices, experimentation and research-based methodologies to explore performance of the self online and the creation and demolition of spaces through conversation and collective imaginings.
Collaboration also forms a large part of her practice. In 2022, Aida co-founded the Bakht collective, which focuses on the intersections between sound, visuals and movement through improvisation. She also co-created the ZayMaTeegy initiative, a series of live coding events in Cairo. By manipulating found footage, video synthesizers, text and generative design elements, she tries to construct spaces and systems that respond to sonic interventions.
