ART CAIRO RESIDENCY
A Platform for Research and Regional Exchange
The Art Cairo Residency
invites artists from across the MENA region to engage with Cairo as a site of inquiry, reflection, and dialogue. Designed as a context-responsive platform, the residency supports research-led practices that intersect with the city’s cultural, historical, and social dynamics.
Each residency culminates in a public presentation during Art Cairo, offering audiences a deeper, more layered encounter with contemporary thought from the region and reinforcing the fair’s role as a space for long-form engagement and cultural exchange.
