| Contemporary Egyptian art and craft symposium - confirmed speakers |
|
KHAMSEEN SYMPOSIUM 8 and 9 July 2009 The Ismaili Centre, London SW7 Khamseen (sandstorm in arabic) will explore how art and craft practice in Cairo is impacting on society through the work of contemporary practitioners and innovative art projects. It will ask how society can nurture traditional skills whilst remaining open to innovation? Why Cairo? Because in Cairo today we have a model where the recognition of the value of traditional skills is in resurgence and is playing a pivotal part in the regeneration of Cairo and artistic practice across the Middle East. Khamseen will bring together leading artists and professionals to discuss the context for this change and how it might relate to contemporary practice here in the UK. |
