Between the MA*GA Museum and the Fumagalli Gallery in Italy, the works of 13 Egyptian and Italian artists will be exhibited as part of the second edition of the “Tale of Two Cities” exhibition, taking place from June 30th until the end of July, organized by Art D’Égypte by CulturVator
A second exhibition will be held in Alexandria, with details and participants to be announced soon. This artistic dialogue bridges time and space, connecting East and West through contemporary art and design. The exhibition explores the intricate relationship between art, memory, geography, and time, through the lens of poetry and modern visual expression.
Participating artists and designers from Egypt and Italy include Ahmed Farid, Gamal Bassiouny, Hassan Ragab, Luca Boffi, Giacomo Cossio, Clarulecis, and Luigi Pensa, alongside designers from Art D’Égypte’s “Designers circle”: Kahhal 1871, and Ahmad Sherif founder of Cotta Design, who present contemporary works inspired by heritage, material, and symbolism.
In the “Geography and Mystery” exhibition, artists Stefano Cagol, Marina Ballo Charmet, Karim Hayawan, and Gamal Meleika take viewers on a visual journey blending reality and imagination, mind and emotion.
The Fumagalli Gallery will host “The Milan Papyrus” exhibition, featuring works by Egyptian and Italian artists inspired by three poetic fragments from the Milan Papyrus, one of the oldest known poetic texts. Through painting, photography, sculpture, and design, these works engage in a visual dialogue about what remains when civilizations collapse, and the role of art as both a witness and a shaper of time.
Meanwhile, at MA*GA Museum, “Geography and Mystery” draws on the power of contemporary Italian photography to express the identity and spirit of place. The works move beyond documentation, offering meditations on the unknown and the hidden within nature and human history.
Art D’Égypte by CulturVator extends its deepest gratitude to the partners supporting this cultural initiative, especially EgyptAir, the official carrier, Bloomberg Connects, Barta & Partners, and the Italian Cultural Institute in Cairo, for their belief in the power of art to build bridges and foster intercultural dialogue.
