Maria Frederika Malmström (Lund University/Columbia University) will participate in the congress with a paper on how political active Cairenes are navigating suspicious places, spaces, bodies and non-living things in the cityscape of Cairo. It examines the ambiguity of familiar materialities in Cairo in the post-Mubarak era, in relation to agential acts.
