The work of seven photographers included in previous Moving Walls exhibitions in the United States were shown at Contemporary Image Collective, alongside the work of local photographers Osama Dawod and John Perkins. The photographs in this exhibition cover diverse regions—including Ethiopia, the former Soviet Union, the Middle East, and the United States—and subjects such as political transition, prison life, wounded veterans, American Islam, and homelessness. Moving Walls Cairo was organized by OSI's Documentary Photography Project and Middle East & North Africa Initiative, in partnership with Contemporary Image Collective.

Photographers in the Exhibition

Gary Fabiano, Aleksandr Glyadyelov, Eric Gottesman, Edward Grazda, Lori Grinker, Andrew Lichtenstein, James Nubile, Osama Dawod, and John Perkins.

Concurrent with the exhibition, Al-liquindoi organized a production workshop, taught by former Moving Walls photographer Chien-Chi Chang, from October 29-November 2, 2007. The five day workshop was held at Contemporary Image Collective for local photographers. In addition, OSI s NetworkDebate Program offered youth media workshops to high school students, using Moving Walls for the curriculum.
