Program Description

The project "Alexandria: (re)activating common urban imaginaries" (ALEX) aims to take a fresh look at the many challenges faced by the arts and heritage sectors, through the historic and contemporaneous prisms of the city of Alexandria, Egypt and its influence on urban imaginaries in the Mediterranean region and beyond. The project is supported by the European Union's Creative Europe programme. The project takes its first steps by organizing two fully-funded residency cycles, which will evolve independently but which will encounter each other at various moments during the project: - The Caravan Residency Program: Thinking with Alexandria conceived and realized by UNIDEE residency programs and curated together with Edwin Nasr and in conversation with Sarah Rifky. - The Politics of Heritage - School for Sonic Memory Residency, organised by Onassis Stegi and Theatrum Mundi, is a pluri-disciplinary nomadic residency program exploring sound, memory and trans-Mediterranean resonances.
