With the aim of democratizing Art and preserving cultural heritage:
Art D’Egypte, the platform that aims to promote Egyptian art while highlighting and
preserving heritage sites, is excited to announce the launch of the first Egyptian online
platform dedicated to culture, by making it accessible to audiences of all ages and from all
walks of life through episodes aired weekly on their Youtube page and podcast.
Art D’Egypte’s Youtube page will feature lectures with local and regional prominent figures
in the arts and culture landscape, where they convey their visions, along with footage and
interviews from previous Art D’Egypte exhibitions, held at the heart of Egyptian heritage
sites. The podcast will include conversations with cultural pioneers and leaders in the creative economy.
“We launched our YouTube page and podcast in order to share the knowledge and rich
information we have gathered over the years from leaders in the creative economy with all
of you. This is part of our mission to democratize art and make art accessible for all, and to
allow local, regional and global viewers access to this content.” said Nadine Abdel Ghaffar,
Founder of Art D’Egypte.
“Art D’Egypte has set its sights on transferring all of its work and efforts online, in light of
the current circumstances and the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, and out of its keenness to make art accessible to the public as well as guaranteeing that art education
and knowledge is easily accessible to anyone through our platforms,” Abdel Ghaffar added.
“The list of participants in the dialogues include a number of prominent arts and culture
figures, with some of the renowned figures participating in the first phase of the
discussions including artist and former Minister of Culture Farouk Hosny who explored the
relationship between the artist and the city of Alexandria. The interviews and discussions
that will be posted on our channels will also tackle various topics such as the creative
economy, cultural preservation through sustainable development, ways to make art
accessible to all, and how Alexandria as a city hosted the pioneers of modern Egypt,” Abdel
Ghaffar elaborated.
This is part of Art D’Egypte’s recently launched initiative to make art more accessible to all
through providing a number of activities online, on its social media platforms, and through virtual exhibitions with the aim of enriching the public’s culture and artistic awareness.
