ESKENDERIYAH (اسكندرية) is a collaborative photobook by Egyptian artist Yomna Mohamed and artist and printer Afrida Ahmed, exploring the city of Alexandria, Egypt, through its historic backdrop, glistening coastline, and intimate everyday scenes.
Through photography, Mohamed revisits a place that feels both anchored in time and constantly evolving. A wave crashes and a balloon smiles back, inviting us into the rhythm and spirit of the city, its climate, culture, and familiar comforts.
Printed in four colors (bright red, yellow, aqua, and black) using the Risograph process, the book is handbound and assembled in New York City in a limited edition of 75 copies.
ESKENDERIYAH is the first publishing project from Afrida + Friends, an independent publishing initiative founded by Afrida Ahmed that brings together photography, printmaking, and collaborative approaches to artist publishing.
The publication was shortlisted for the inaugural 2026 Susan McLaughlin Risograph Photobook Award, presented by Penumbra Foundation.
