ALBAWABA - While in Saudi Arabia for the screening of the film "Welad Rizk 3," director Kamla Abu Zekri was the subject of criticism after publishing a selfie she had taken with counselor Turki Al-Sheikh.
Kamla appeared to be enjoying herself in the photo, which quickly went viral on social media sites, especially after its linkage. Following Bayoumi Fouad's disagreement with Salam, the crowd circulated the picture and its critical remarks about the artist.
After Bayoumi Fouad gave a theatrical performance in Saudi Arabia, Kamla Abu Zekry removed a post in which she criticized him.
Muhammad Salam later apologized, but the post still went viral. At the time, Kamila said that she disagreed with Bayoumi Fouad's stance and supported artist Muhammad Salam. However, after the picture she took with Counselor Turki Al-Sheikh, Kamla was the target of criticism, and she chose not to reply to the nasty remarks.
Following the controversy surrounding Bayoumi and Salam, Kamla took to Facebook to pay tribute to the former professor and artist. If you consider money art, I'm not proud to work with you in this field.
"And when you reveal this absurdity—that Egyptian art is dishonorable—and when you reveal this absurdity—that your neighbor kills his own children, women, and men—and you claim art, then all I can say is that you are the last people I want to talk to about feelings and art."
