Curatorial Ethos
The gallery is dedicated to the acquisition of twentieth-century modern Egyptian art and the field of Egyptian art history, while also channeling income towards an educational program featuring monthly seminars and talks. Its programme focuses on rediscovering forgotten Egyptian masters and showcasing contemporary Egyptian talent through exhibitions and scholarly engagement.
Art Talks | Egypt is a Cairo-based interdisciplinary art space located in Zamalek, founded in 2009 by Fatenn Mostafa-Kanafani. The gallery manages Egyptian artists’ estates and represents a roster of emerging and mid-career artists alongside twentieth-century modern masters. It operates with daily opening hours from 11am to 8pm (3pm to 8pm on Fridays) at 8 El Kamel Mohamed St., Zamalek, Cairo.
Why this gallery matters
Exhibo editorial
El Kamel Mohamed Street, Zamalek. ArtTalks describes itself as a search engine — a gallery whose job is to find the next generation of Egyptian artists — and as a forum, which is the more unusual claim: seminars, research, publications on modern Egyptian art history. Its 2019 survey Mokhtar to Gazbia put some seventy works on the walls, from the sculptor Mahmoud Mokhtar to the painter Gazbia Sirry, and read like a short course in the century. Young artists in one show, the history they inherit in the next. Worth a stop for anyone who wants the context, not just the canvas.
