A PLATFORM ROOTED IN CAIRO
|
The 7th edition of Art Cairo takes place from 23 to 26 January 2026 at The Grand Egyptian Museum.
The 2026 fair will unfold under the annual theme “Arab. Art. Here” inspired by the words of Mahmoud Darwish “This is my language, my miracle, my magic wand”. The theme celebrates the Arabic language as a living art form, a bridge between past and present, and a source of creative expression that continues to inspire artists and audiences alike. It reflects the poetic power of words and their ability to translate feeling, memory, and imagination into art.
