Beyond the Typical: Inji Efflatoun's Exhibitions in the USSR in 1970 and 1975
Maghreb Review. 2023. Vol. 48. No. 4. P. 443–456.
This paper will discuss the Egyptian artist Inji Efflatoun (1924–1989), whose first exhibition in Moscow in 1970 took place during the leadership of Gamal Abdul Nasser, and whose second, in 1975, was organized while Anwar Saadat was the president. They were very different in content, structure, complexity, and ambition, and probably in the political and social messages they sought to convey. Their content and political context will be examined here, based on archival material, as well as on Soviet newspapers and journals.
