Darren Spirk

Darren Spirk is from the US and has been living in Cairo since 2016. He completed his MA in Gender and Women’s Studies in the Middle East/North Africa at the American University in Cairo in 2020, where his thesis applied critical theory from visual culture and urban studies to intervene into anthropological discourses on the image. He is currently working on combining his theoretical interests with an applied photography and film practice that aims to explore visual refusal as a praxis for thinking beyond progressive politics of visibility.
