We announce “My Home Remembers Me Differently,” an exhibition by Melanie Partamian
In “My Home Remembers Me Differently”, Melanie Partamian draws on her family’s history of displacement from Greece, Syria, and Armenia to Egypt due to war and genocide. Home, for the artist, a space formed through loss, imagination, and reconstruction, becomes unstable, fragmented, and elusive by displacement and inherited trauma.

The exhibition brings together deconstructed home objects and family narratives to examine how memory, identity, and belonging are constructed. Everyday forms are altered and recontextualized to reveal how spaces carry the weight of personal and collective histories. The exhibition presents the tension between lived experience and inherited memory, suggesting that home, as both idea and structure, shapes how we are remembered, misremembered, or forgotten.

The exhibition opens on Monday, 1st of September, 2025, from 7 - 9 PM at Medrar. And runs until Sunday, the 21st of September 2025, from 4 to 9 PM daily except Saturdays and Fridays.
Address: Medrar, 10 Gamal Eldin Abo ElMahsen, 8th floor, Garden City, Cairo
