Egypt’s Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities (MOTA) launched an art exhibition in the USA for Egyptian artists. In cooperation with the Regional Office of the United Nations, the gallery serves as a testament that art is a universal language that transcends borders —uniting humanity in shared expression. The exhibition, ‘Bridging Cairo & New York,’ scheduled from 29 February to 7 March, is spearheaded by Shereen Badr, the CEO and founder of Artoday consultancy in Egypt and the founder of Empower Her Art Forum (EHAF), as well as Alcinda Saphira, president and head curator of Saphira & Ventura Gallery, an art Gallery in New York. The expo aims to showcase the variety and innovation of Egyptian art in the world’s capital of modern art, bringing with it a celebration of both ancient traditions and contemporary expressions, according to Badr. Badr emphasized the significance of the event, stating that it offers a platform to champion gender equality by featuring both female and male artists. A panel discussion is scheduled on 7 March where the panelists will discuss the transformative power of art in empowering women and promoting gender equality. https://www.instagram.com/p/C4IvKFduefq/ …
