As part of REFRAMING THE MOUNTAINS, an initiative by Apripista to provide an inclusive lense on alpine fashion and culture. Curated by Apripista’s Nadia Samadani, the exhibition brought together a diverse range of artists who were invited to create works inspired by vintage travel posters that simultaneously reimagined alpine culture through an inclusive global lense.

With the opening on Feb 25, 2026, at the iconic 10 Corso Como during Milan Fashion Week,  the project was able to challenge traditional narratives of who belongs in mountain iconography as well as rexamine who skiwear can be geared towards. While Egypt does have its fair share of mountain ranges, they are almost never capped in snow, so with that came the idea of representing “ski culture” in the country through sandboarding instead.

Other artists who contributed to REFRAMING THE MOUNTAINS are Joana Hakki, Hussein Alazaat, Amara Sikander, Bokja Design, Shehzil Malik, Anis Wani, Doreen Mashika, Thabo Makhetha, Michelle Khalil, Zoya Khan, Rohka, Artsi Ifrah, Zarif Design, Lida Afghan, Idda Studio, and Rashin Kheiriyeh.

Illustration for blog post on life in a post-Coronavirus world.

Excerpt:

If a vaccine cannot be developed in less than 18 months, then we must envision how life under Coronavirus can be sustained for at least 18 months (if not more). We then must also envision the ripple effects those 18 months will have on the culture at large beyond those 18 months, likely for the entire decade that is the 2020s.

The post was later picked up by The Boulder Weekly for their April 2nd (2020) issue, along with the illustration for their cover art.
