Amr Maghraby (b. 1992, Alexandria) is an artist based in Alexandria, Egypt. He holds an MA in Painting from Alexandria University’s Faculty of Fine Arts and studied contemporary art at MASS Alexandria in 2014. Since 2012, he has been a founding member and developer of Bab Ashra Art Space.

His practice integrates various mediums, focusing on the research of intersections between economy and memory, using various historical contexts to explore how exchange mechanisms within financial systems shape social memory and collective imagination, particularly in relation to how value has been constructed in safe havens like gold. This interest arises from the major financial shifts that have unfolded in the artist’s hometown in recent years, revealing complex interconnections and leaving a lot of correlations yet to be explored.

In 2026, Maghrby presented his first solo exhibition, Abandoned Gold, at Mashrabia Gallery for Contemporary Art in Downtown Cairo, and was selected for the DigiLab Africa 2026 development program. His work has been exhibited in several group shows, including the Cairo Youth Salon (2018, 2021), where he received the Encouragement Award. Other participations include the Inside Out festival in Jordan (2019), the MASS Alexandria (2015), and Roznama competition and exhibition at Medrar for Contemporary Art (2015)
