Artist Residencies in Alexandria

ElMadina for Performing and Digital Arts

Alexandria, Egypt

ElMadina for Performing and Digital Arts in Alexandria, Egypt, runs the Tikeya Nomadic and Residency Project, a month-long program engaging with Arab Caravanserai traditions through travel across Alexandria, Cairo, Siwa Oasis, and back to Alexandria. Participants from all creative disciplines create a self-reflexive Artist Book/Travel Journal in formats like writing, drawing, photography, or performance, culminating in a public presentation or exhibition at Studio ElMadina. The residency emphasizes networking, documentation, and reflection on Egypt's contemporary social and cultural scene rather than production.
