title: "A Tale of Two *Nubias*"
authors: ["abdelsadeq.md"]
abstract: For centuries, the Nubians lived between the First and Fourth Cataracts of the Nile as an ethno-linguistic group united by their language, customs and distinctive architecture. However, the construction of the High Dam in 1964 led to the displacement of Nubian villages from their historical sites to another location completely different to the environment in which the Nubian culture arose and developed. In this research I examine the daily life in *Abu* *Hor*, a Nubian village in both Old and New Nubia as a case study to explore how the Nubians could remake their homes and homeland in the aftermath of their displacement. I use auto-ethnographic tools to understand the material and social techniques they had developed to create a sense of home in New Nubia. The research demonstrates how the displacement of Nubians and the changing spatial context have deeply affected their culture, and how the Nubians could create new images of *home* and new cultural practices for *belonging* through sixty years.
