In the years immediately preceding the dam\u2019s construction, the American University in Cairo directed a large-scale project of salvage anthropology with funding from the Ford Foundation. \r\n\r\nThis endeavor yielded hundreds of photographs of al-nuba al-qadima or \u201cOld Nubia\u201d the term affectionately used by community members. Over the past sixty years, Nubians have used these images to cultivate a collective memory of a lost homeland. From Aswan to Alexandria and beyond, community members are salvaging their own stories from this anthropological archive, reshaping it as a sentimental terrain of solidarity across time, space, and circumstance. \r\n\r\nThis selection of photographs includes persons, places, and practices as well as glimpses of the presence of the photographer and researchers. Both online and offline, Egyptian Nubians continue to share and re-mediate these photos as they recall their historical displacement and revitalize their heritage for future generations.\r\n\r\nThe exhibit is curated by Yasmin Moll, assistant professor of anthropology, and coordinated by Nesrien Hamid, doctoral student in anthropology, with funding from the University of Michigan's Humanities Collaboratory.\r\n\r\nFor a deeper dive, visit the companion exhibit, Narrating Nubia, at the Duderstadt Center on North Campus.

Built in collaboration with the University of Michigan, the LUX-Zeplin is the world\u2019s most sensitive dark matter experiment. SURF also hosts experiments in biology, geology and engineering.\r\n\r\nGina Gibson is an internationally exhibiting artist and professor of Graphic Design at Black Hills State University.
