At the British Museum

During her time on the International Training Programme in 2014, Marwa was based in the Department of Egypt and Sudan and her partner placement was spent at Tyne and Wear Archives and Museums, Newcastle.

In 2014 participants were asked to prepare a project outlining an exhibition proposal based on the Asahi Shimbun Displays – a temporary exhibition in Room 3 at the British Museum. Marwa’s exhibition project proposal was entitled Story of the Hieroglyphic Letters.

Marwa’s place on the programme was generously supported by the Marie-Louise von Motesiczky Charitable Trust.
