About Medrar

Based on Contemporary Visual Arts, “Medrar” is a nonprofit organization that started running activities since 2005. It represents a common cultural corporate and philanthropic platform for young emerging artists with all means of communication, developing experiences and financial support.

Considering the necessity to document the ongoing Contemporary Art movement in Egypt and critique based methods, “Medrar” aims to drive the interest of emerging artists by:

-Providing chances of accession and experimentation.

-Stimulating the artistic scene with organizing workshops, festivals and periodic events.

-Encouraging participation and cultural exchange between Egyptian and foreigner artists (in forms of lectures, collaborative projects or workshops).

-Creating space for dialogues between young art critics by producing serial prospectuses and critique researches.

-Seeking all ways of collaboration between Medrar and other associations or foundations that stands for supporting various strands of art practice in order to form basic original cultural backgrounds.
