For the fifth year in a row, Cairopolitan is back with similar determination to bring together a selection of 600+ artworks designed by 180+ artists from Egypt and beyond. For the period of an entire month, the exhibition will display this collection of prints to celebrate local and regional talents!
Cairopolitan decided to extend the love for prints and became a key player in this extraordinary scene with the biggest collection of prints in Egypt. We have realized that it is about time to put aside vintage prints and leave the door open for our emerging and exceptional artists to bring their own to the table. Therefore, we dedicated a space at Cairopolitan to exhibit and sell their work for all print lovers and design enthusiasts everywhere.
In an attempt to constantly break barriers and expand circles, Cairopolitan has put out an Open Call to welcome submissions from graphic designers and visual artists who want to include their work in our prints collection!
As a result, we were able to reach out to the biggest number possible of artists and designers. Our focus was on those who rely heavily on social media to showcase their work, so that we can be able to provide them with a physical space where their work could be seen and appreciated by print collectors, enthusiasts or even passersby. Eventually, we were able to curate an expanded collection designed by different and successive generations of artists and designers who come from completely diverse backgrounds.
This edition’s identity was designed by the very talented artist @shennnawy
للسنة الخامسة على التوالي، تعود كايروبوليتان بعزم مماثل لتقدم مجموعة هائلة تضم أكثر من ٦٠٠ عمل فني من أكثر من ١٨٠ فنان ومصمم من مصر وخارجها. لمدة شهر كامل، سيضم المعرض هذه المجموعة من المطبوعات للاحتفاء بالمواهب المحلية ومواهب أخرى من المنطقة العربية. قررت كايروبوليتان أن تمدد هذا الحب حتى أصبحت لاعباً رئيسياً في هذا المشهد الاستثنائي لتضم أكبر مجموعة من المطبوعات في مصر. أدركنا أن الوقت قد حان لوضع المطبوعات العتيقة جانبًا وترك الباب مفتوحًا للفنانين الناشئين والراسخين ليحضروا إصدارات جديدة إلى الصورة. لذلك، قمنا بتخصيص مساحة في كايروبوليتان لعرض وبيع أعمالهم لجميع عشاق الطباعة وهواة التصميم في كل مكان
