Italian Curator Elena Giulia Abbiatici Curates Section at Off Biennale Cairo 2018
The Off Biennale Cairo, an important contemporary art event, is scheduled to start on November 1, 2018, under the direction of Simon Njami. Featuring a special segment titled Polyptoton, curated by Elena Giulia Abbiatici, the exhibition will delve into the interplay between the sacred and daily life. It will explore two major themes: the evolving perception of nature and technological advancements shaped by human intervention. The biennale will showcase artists such as Brodbeck & De Barbaut and Ryts Monet at the Darb1718 venue in Cairo, running until December 15. This event was established in 2015 to promote local artistry.
