SOUNDBITE (English) Basim Magdy, Deutsche Bank \"Artist of the Year\" for 2016:\"No, I don't think I'm in a position to explain anything to anyone. I think, if you claim that you can explain things to people, you put yourself in a position that's higher than them, a position of knowledge, that you know things they don't know. I would never put myself in that position. I don't know things that people don't know. I know that I have ideas that I want to share with people. It's like having a conversation, you exchange ideas, it is just a different way of exchanging ideas.\"8. Wide of paintings on wall9.

This is my history, this is my past, this is where I was born and where I grew up. But at the same time I'm an individual that has individual opinions and individual ways of responding to things. And, I think I have no problems at all being Egyptian, or an Egyptian artist. But the problem is not with me, the problem is when you take your work to audiences that are not familiar with the place that you're from, you become a stereotype.
