What began with a box of childhood cassettes, the Egyptian Cassette Archive, founded by Amr Hamid, now preserves Egypt's rich musical and artistic heritage.

Curator Amr Hamid discusses how his rare archive of cassette covers traces the evolution of Egyptian design, and preserves it.

After interviewing Amr Hamid about the "Egyptian Cassette Archive," Nabila Abdel-Aziz presented the interview on Germany's national public radio.

This interview features Amr Hamid, the founder of the Egyptian Cassette Archive project, conducted in Arabic. It is part of the Radio Submarine podcast “Yara Mekawei” from the Blogs project 'Mudawanat,’ produced by the Al-Mawred Al-Thaqafi Foundation and the British Council. Over two episodes, Hamid discusses the archive from both visual and musical perspectives. We hope you enjoy listening.
