Cairo Masterclasses: A Professional Training Program

Cairo Masterclasses is a year-round professional training program offered by the gallery, covering a wide range of topics in art and cultural practices. The program aims to develop and refine the skills of artists and professionals working in the art field by equipping them with advanced tools and techniques to enhance their artistic and professional practices, with a focus on the diverse contexts that shape the art world.

The program consists of a series of independent masterclasses, each addressing diverse and evolving topics.

-History and memory in art

-Experimentation with traditional and digital media

-Interaction between the artist and the audience

-Innovation in art writing

-Experimentation with moving images

Participants will have the opportunity to engage with local and international experts and artists, gaining insights into integrating these learnings into their art practices effectively. The program also fosters a dynamic environment that encourages experimentation and the exchange of ideas among participants.
