In episode 24, Hana El-Beblawy, an artist and curator, discusses the organisation Ard Art she founded in 2022. Situated in central Cairo, in one of the city’s oldest neighbourhoods, the space provides opportunities for artists to experiment through a varied programme of residencies, workshops, exhibitions and more. With an open and inclusive ethos, Ard Art develops according to artists’ needs and places value on being away from the pressures of the commercial gallery system. Hana’s own artistic practice and experience organising exhibitions in her previous role as artistic and executive director of Art D’Égypte, inform her empathetic, ground-up approach. She joined me from her home in Cairo. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
