Tell us about Engy Al-Husseini, writer, artist and artist?
I studied interior architecture décor at the College of Fine Arts and worked for a long time in one of the major architectural companies, but the big change in my life happened with the events of January 25, at that time I was as anxious as other citizens as I followed the chaos of the street and my feeling of belonging to my country increased, which prompted me to change my field of work As an architect after 8 years, he joined the Egyptian Center for Studies and Research and worked in it as a researcher in the center’s media office.
Engy's interest in political affairs
As I was keen to follow all the local and international news, as well as follow-up programs that are interested in political affairs and how to choose the news and information that are important, and given that I have an artist, this has pushed me to excel. To increase my experience, I enrolled in the Nasser Military Academy and took the courses of strategy and national security and the course of crisis management, as well as a course on how to combat corruption from the Administrative Control Authority.
How do you combine art and writing?
I can say that the center is the place where I discovered myself as a writer, the beginning was by writing many scenarios for many documentaries and political films, then I wrote many political and social articles that won the admiration of experts and specialists ..
The truth is that I am often amazed at changing the type of writing that has evolved into a fictional form, and I started writing and publishing short stories, and perhaps the reason for that is because I am a lover of all kinds of arts and literature, because the artist and the writer are two sides of the same coin. Stories and I published my first collection of stories “After my departure” and from here I felt a new kind of happiness through writing and how to influence others.
What issues would you prefer to focus on?
One of the issues that I like to focus on are social issues, because I see that the human’s lack of identity and humanity is the cause of many problems and crimes that we have come to view with amazement due to the development of the type of crime. I also care about political issues in light of the state of the unconscious in which the citizen lives, and his running behind untold rumors And also because I believe that the homeland is still under threat from the global economic and security forces, which defeated them on 6/30.
Which is stronger in combating extremism and racism, plastic art or writing?
In my opinion, writing is stronger than art in fighting extremism. The word is a dangerous kind of weapon, and we have suffered from books and hadiths that have become a reference for terrorist organizations and groups, such as the books of Sayyid Qutb and Abu Al-A'la Al-Mawdudi. Therefore, I understand the concept of “renewing religious discourse”, which is intended to revise books from extremist ideas And a clear explanation of some hadiths and verses, so that interpretation is not acceptable.
