Egypt’s City of the Dead as Seen by Acclaimed Photojournalist Ed Kashi
April 11, 2024
American photojournalist Ed Kashi guides us through his exhibit 'The Living City of the Dead'.
At the heart of the Citadel of Salah El Din in Old Cairo, the captivating narratives of a vital part of this locale's history unfold—the stories of those residing within the 'Living City of the Dead'. As part of Cairo Design Week, the Cairo-based photography school Photopia curated and hosted an exhibition featuring the work of acclaimed American photojournalist Ed Kashi. This collection stems from his visit to Egypt in 1993, during which he spent three weeks in the City of the Dead.
At one point, Cairo's vast 13th-century necropolis, known as the City of the Dead, was primarily inhabited by caretakers, who were employed by families to tend to their ancestral mausoleums. However, with the rapid increase in Cairo's population density, driven by a housing shortage, the city's main cemetery became home to people seeking shelter.
By 1993, the City of the Dead had become a bustling hub, with over one hundred and twenty thousand residents living, working, shopping, and attending school amidst the mausoleums. Today, this population has grown even further. Makeshift huts now dot the landscape, nestled between tombstones where life somehow goes on. Amongst the grand burial sites of renowned religious and political figures from Egypt's storied past, masses of people now live and work in makeshift dwellings.
Originally tasked by National Geographic to explore urban landscapes in Egypt, Kashi and his then-girlfriend (now wife) found themselves drawn to the daily existence in the City of the Dead. Amidst the backdrop of corpses and decay, they discovered a life that, while unique, also took on elements of the ordinary and routine. Over those three weeks, Kashi immersed himself in the community, capturing their traditions—from weddings to religious rituals, schools, and workplaces.
In this exclusive CairoScene & El Fasla interview, the photographer guides us through the exhibit, where images from the past come to life within the historic Citadel's walls. Against the backdrop of Cairo's rapidly changing urban landscape, Kashi urges viewers to contemplate this archival documentation of a community and landscape on the brink of disappearance.

Nate Gowdy and Monroe Gallery Announce Major Aquisition of "Insurrection" prints
April 10, 2024
Via Nate Gowdy:
With permission from the collector, I’m proud to report the largest fine art commission of my career. He’s acquired a ten-image portfolio of 20x30-inch prints from January 6, 2021. This is a HUGE stabilizing force for me going into the summer. I am working with my partners at @monroegallery and a master printer to make the prints, too large for my trusty Epson. An exhibition opening at Midwest Museum of American Art in my hometown of Elkhart, Indiana, is slated for the first part of 2025.

Mark Peterson: The Capitol's reflection, January 3, Washington, DC, 2021
Santa Fe, NM - Monroe Gallery of Photography is
honored to announce exclusive representation of acclaimed photographer Mark
Peterson for fine art print sales.
Mark Peterson is a photographer
based in New York City. His work has been published in the New York Times
Magazine, New York Magazine, The New Yorker, Time, Fortune, National
Geographic, Geo Magazine and other national and international publications. In
2018 he was awarded the W. Eugene Smith grant for his work on White
Nationalism. His many awards include a first place Feature Picture Story in the
Pictures of the Year International Competition. Peterson’s work has been
featured in numerous exhibitions including his pictures of lowriders shown in
“Museums Are Worlds” at the Louvre in 2012.
He is the author of two books:

museums including The National Gallery of Art in Washington DC and the Museum
Of Fine Arts, Houston. In 2024 Steidl will publish his book The Fourth Wall.
Although often not beautiful, or
easy, Peterson’s images shake and disquiet us; and once seen are etched in our
memories forever. “I like a lot of chaos
in my pictures. I do like to be close to the action. It gives me a feeling of
what is happening. I want to pull back the curtain and show these politicians
as they really are.”
Monroe Gallery will exhibit several examples
of Peterson’s work at the 2024 Photography Show presented by AIPAD in booth
#A52, April 25 – 28, 2024 at The Park Avenue Armory in New York City. On
Thursday, March 21st at 7pm Eastern, The Griffin Museum hosts Mark Peterson for
an on-line conversation about his creative path, his pull to politics and what
it takes to frame his vision as part of the museum’s current focus on power and
perception, democracy and how we see and envision our elected leaders.

Mark Peterson | Political Theatre Artist Talk
"Over the past ten years I have been photographing the presidential candidates as they lead rallies, meet with voters and plead for their votes. I started just before the government shutdown in 2013 at a tea party rally at the U.S. Capitol. Politicians railed against the president and the Affordable Care Act — a show to get a sound bite into the next news cycle."--Mark Peterson
March 21 @ 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm
As part of our current focus on power and perception, democracy and how we see and envision our elected leaders, we are pleased to present the work of Mark Peterson. His stark portrayal of the power players in Washington DC is unique in its vision and we can’t wait to see and hear more about how he gets the images that his lens finds and holds in our collective memory.
