SAFENA 7 COLLECTIVE

I dedicate nothing to you

“I dedicate to you a bypassing conversation whispered to you in the public conveyance,
I dedicate to you the night between in the midst of two mountains,
I dedicate nothing to you,”

– Mohamed Behnes, a Sudanese poet who died from the cold in the streets of Cairo

“I dedicate nothing to you” is a photobook for Walaa Yassin and Mohamed Babakir, two Sudanese photographers who are on the way,
A way from Khurtom to Cairo amidst the war,
A way from Jeddah to Khartoum,
A way of farwell, displacement, intimacy and memories

*the book was developed and published through a residency with Safena.7 in 2023
