58 Country-Specific Information — E G Y P T — YARA MEKAWEI ELHAM KATTAB CONTEMPORARY IMAGE COLLECTIVE Examples of mobility projects: Sound and video artist Yara Mekawei attended the Lagos and Dakar biennales. She has since founded a pan-African radio station named Radio Submarine, which broadcasts one hour of sound art and alternative music (historical and contemporary) from a different African country every week. Digital artist Elham Kattab has been collaborating with curators across North Africa on a new platform named Digi-MENA. The first phase was a mapping research of digital artists in the region, produced in collaboration with Moroccan curator Nouha Ben Yebdri and Algerian curator Taoufiq Douib. She is also co-organizing a Digital Arts Festival with Douib, which is set to take place in Algeria later this year. The Contemporary Image Collective in Cairo is part of the Centres of Learning for Photography in Africa Network, which links organizations across the continent to develop critical thinking on photography. They have met in different countries across the continent, including Uganda, South Africa, Lesotho, Rwanda and RDC. LAILA SOLIMAN Egypt’s visa policy is one of the most restrictive in the region. Visas are required for citizens of all North African countries above the age of 14, with the exception of Libyan women who may enter visa-free. Nationals of all African countries, with the exception of South Sudan, must apply for a visa. Egypt has good flight connections to North Africa via EgyptAir as well as AirAlgérie, Tunisair and Royal Air Maroc, which all fly to Cairo. Egyptair has developed its connections southward, with connections to several East African countries, as well as South Africa, Zimbabwe and Zambia in Southern Africa and Nigeria, Ghana and Côte d’Ivoire in West Africa. Other destinations may be reached via Addis Ababa. Playwright and theatre director Laila Soliman has been pursuing projects in Senegal and South Africa. In 2017, she attended a residency at RAW Material Company in Dakar and in 2018, directed a theatre production titled “Museum of Lungs,” featuring South African composer/ multi-instrumentalist Neo Muyanga and writer/ performer Stacy Hardy.
59 Country-Specific Information — QUOTE: — FUNDING FOR MOBILITY — Public administrations There is a serious lack of transparency regarding the national budget for culture and allowances for cultural actors. However, two respondents stated that they were aware of funds available through the Ministry and that they had successfully obtained grants from the Ministry of Culture’s international relations office. Civil society organizations Egyptian artists and cultural operators seem to be the best informed about funding opportunities provided by international civil society organizations. Al-Mawred al-Thaqafy and AFAC are very well-known amongst cultural actors, likely a result of proximity to Beirut and the fact that al-Mawred’s headquarters were in Cairo until 2015. Mophradat and the Roberto Cimetta Fund are also well-known. However, no respondents mentioned Africa Art Lines. « The Ministry of Culture is not transparent at all about how their funding works – you can go to them with the paperwork but you could wait indefinitely. It’s always a mystery as to why they respond to one application but not the others. There’s no clarity in the process and it keeps changing. It’s a very tedious process; an application has to go through 4–5 offices and everything can stop if one person isn’t at their desk. » Nada Sabet Theatre director and co-founder, Noon Creative Enterprise — — E G Y P T — International cooperation institutes Unlike in Maghreb countries, where the Institut Français is by far the most present, in Egypt the most well-known cultural institutes are the Goethe Institut and Pro Helvetia. The Goethe Institut’s regional bureau is in Cairo. While they do not have a formal mobility program, they have supported a large number of artists via the Moving MENA program (since phased out) and have thus emerged as a reference for a large number of artists. Pro Helvetia was also repeatedly cited as a reliable source of funding. The British Council and the Dutch Embassy are also known to cultural operators and artists as possible sources of funding. Private foundations Several respondents deplored that the Ford Foundation is no longer providing direct support for initiatives in Egypt. However, two noted that the Drosos Foundation is filling the space left by Ford.
