Bas Princen, Mokattam Ridge (Garbage city) - we make money not art: "Looking online for the location of the photo, Mokattam, i discovered that the image is authentic. It's a hilly suburb of Cairo called Garbage City. The Zabbaleen, a community of mainly Coptic Christians, live there. Since the '50s, they have been making a living by collecting, sorting and disposing of Cairo's waste."
