Downtown Cairo is awash in vibrant contemporary art, as the fourth edition of the Cairo International Art District (CIAD) festival unfolds from October 10-30. Curated by Culturvator- Art D’Egypte, the festival presents a diverse collection of contemporary art in three captivating locations: Radio Cinema, Al-Masnaa, and Access Art Space.

CIAD, a parallel event to the fourth edition of the “Eternity is Now” exhibition at the Giza pyramids, provides a stage for both local and international artists to explore the rich history and pulsating presence of Downtown Cairo.

“There’s no doubt that art is a reflection of society, and Downtown Cairo, with its rich past and lively present, is the perfect place to showcase the stories and art of our community,” says Nadine Abdel Ghaffar, founder of Culturvator- Art D’Egypte. “CIAD allows contemporary artists to interpret the legacy of this historic area through their works, expressing the beating heart of the city,” she adds.

The festival also embraces “The Designers’ Circle,” a groundbreaking initiative dedicated to fostering collaboration between artists, designers, and architects. Encouraging interdisciplinary exchange, the program allows creators from diverse fields to collaborate and unleash their potential.

“The Designers’ Circle” will push participants beyond conventional design boundaries and inspire innovative ideas, demonstrating the commitment of Culturvator- Art D’Egypte to nurturing creative talent and expanding the horizons of contemporary design.
