Beirut

Beirut was an art initiative and exhibition space in Cairo that considered institution building as a curatorial act. Their activities were centered around hosting artists, artworks, research projects, and other institutions (locally, regionally, internationally) that wished to engage with similar questions we share concerning politics, economy, education, ecology, and the arts. The space, a late 1940’s three-storey villa surrounded by a little garden, was located in the neighborhood of Agouza in Cairo. It closed its doors in 2015.
