Cat on a Bedouin Roof

The cat from the Writers' Centre ought to have her own blog!  She is featured in so many articles :)

Jenna Crowder, who along with Keith Lane, is staying with me at my small 'art home' Arts Residency Cairo and working on some interesting material as well as leading workshops at Townhouse gallery, has just written her latest blog post about their stay and project (and along with many well written and poetic accounts - one can find the cat..)
