The Mashrabia Gallery of Contemporary Art

Mashrabia Gallery was founded in the mid 70’s. Since the 90’s, the gallery has had a pioneering role in the diffusion of Plastic Arts through the presentation of foreign artists in Egypt and the promotion of young Egyptian artists on both the local and foreign levels.

The preference for innovative languages freed from any decorative components (which have been dominating the Egyptian Artistic Panorama,as well as originality and power of the art pieces) have always been the criteria for the rigorous choice of the artists in this collective.

Amongst the founding members of El Nitaq Downtown Art Festival, the Mashrabia Gallery collaborates in an intensive activity of exchanges with private galleries in Switzerland, Italy, Turkey, Tunisia and other countries.

The Gallery has hosted different artistic manifestations such as concerts, theatre pieces, experimental films, poetic lectures and discussions. At present, the gallery is in the process of introducing a series of artistic photography workshops on an ongoing basis.
