Mission Statement |
Fenenin El-Rahhal (or the "Caravan of Artist-Nomads") a working artists’ summit whose mission is more entrenched on process than outcome. It is conceived as a journey that invites thirty artists, writers, journalists, activists and professionals from around the world to trek across the western Egyptian desert for the length of seven days. They will discover one another’s work, reflect, discuss, and hopefully engage in collaborative work on the notion of "territory". At the conclusion of their journey in the desert, they will spend four days in Cairo to take part in a roundtable discussion, open to the public, at the Townhouse Gallery of Contemporary Art. Their discussions will coincide with the 2006 Cairo Biennial of Art, and a number of cultural events planned in the city during the same period. |
