Beyond the chaos of Egypt, lies familiarity. in 2022, the second edition of CIAD offered an opportunity for artists to show the different perspectives of the familiar within Egypt, conceptualising the attachment to a homeland and the paradigm which centres on the significant characteristics of the bond between people and their nation.

CIAD’s group exhibitions aim to deferentially highlight the complexity and vitality of Egypt through multidisciplinary practices of Egyptian and international contemporary artists. CIAD’s objective is to exhibit contemporary Egypt through the lens of its artists, referencing cross-cultural experiences throughout history and defining the spaces where the lines of the personal and social selves are blurred.
