Mostafa started as an animator, passionate about breathing life into imaginary characters on screen. But his vision extended beyond digital frames—he dreamed of bringing these characters into the real world. This passion led him to the enchanting realm of puppetry, where he could transform his creations into tangible beings, interacting with audiences in a direct and magical way.
Nagat’s journey began with a love for drawing and a childhood curiosity about how things are made. This early fascination blossomed into a formal education in Art Education at Cairo University, where she later pursued preliminary Master’s studies in Sculpture. But her artistic path didn’t stop at traditional forms—she was drawn to the world of puppetry, where creativity meets craftsmanship in the most playful ways. Through studies at the Faculty of Fine Arts and hands-on experience with marionettes, glove puppets, and muppets, Nagat found her true artistic voice. Today, as a partner in the Puppetshino project, she brings her passion for children’s art, puppet theater, and sustainability to life—creating meaningful, magical experiences that connect creativity with community.
