“Something Else,” is a non-profit independent visual arts initiative that attempts to support Egyptian and international contemporary art through an Art Biennale idealized by Chief Curator Simon Njami and Artistic Director Moataz Nasr.
For the first part of the 20th century, Egypt was regarded as the center of cultural, intellectual and artistic production within the Arab world, and the world as whole.
Although Egypt is making considerable efforts to develop access to culture in general, it still remains underendowed and isolated, a paradox when considered that it was for millennia one of the worldwide richest culture and art producing countries.
