Fatma Keshk is an Egyptologist, a heritage outreach expert and a storyteller.

Through her work at archaeological sites in Egypt, Sudan and Europe, Fatma developed her expertise in archaeology and also in heritage outreach. Her encounter with the local communities allowed her to explore the overwhelming richness of Egyptian heritage, how it is perceived and how it can be regenerated through and for its people.

She worked with several local and international institutions and was the director of the archaeology and architecture section at the center of documentation of cultural and natural heritage at the Library of Alexandria. She acts as consultant for projects and institutions in the fields of archaeological site management, heritage outreach and community engagement.

In January 2020, she received the cheer-leading award of the "Golden Cubes" competition from the Egyptian House of architecture for her first published story “A Tale of Shutb” that documents the heritage of Shutb village and produced in the framework of the Asyut Region Project of the British Museum.

Her current research concentrates on reconstructing the unknown history of Egyptian Egyptology and on exploring the perceptions of history by contemporary Egyptians. In 2019, she founded her own initiative "The Place and the People" for heritage outreach and education.
