Catherine David:"... The project thus aims to tackle heterogenous situations and contexts which may sometimes be antagonistic or conflictive, in order to aquire more specific knowledge about what is currently going on in different regions of the Arab world, to look at the complex dimensions of estetics in relation to social and political situations, and to encourage people to think more openly about the role played today by cultural practises in our own locations, under our own circumstances...
This project aims to introduce an open constellation of works
developed independently from any institutional support by authors using very different media and strategies in order to confront the bewildering urban and social realities of contemporay Cairo."
