Artist with Down Syndrome Launches 1st Photography Gallery

The Egyptian artist/photographer Hassan Al Akhras, a Down Syndrome fighter, held his first photography gallery two days ago at Art Talks Gallary.

Various Egyptian celebrities supported the event including, Youssra and Ahmed Helmy.

Held under the theme of "Remembrance," Al Akhras traced the history of ancient Cairo and its wonderful sites through breathtaking photos.

His photos depict a lot of Cairo's beauty such as the Nile, Gamaleya district, and Al Moez Street.

Consisted of 35 photos, Al Akhras organized the gallery in the memory of his departed father, Engineer Amr Al Akhras, who encouraged him to organize this event.

The 25 years old artist spent two years touring Cairo and capturing photos of its heritage to give the audience a precious chance to re-experience Cairo's heritage.
