Tale of Two Cities: Italy & Alexandria: Reviving Cultural Dialogue Across the Mediterranean
Following the great success of the first edition of the "Tale of Two Cities" exhibition, which brought together Athens and Alexandria, Art D'Égypte by CulturVator returns this year with a new edition of this pioneering cultural initiative, linking Italy and Alexandria. This marks a continuation of the mission to revive the cultural and historical ties between Egypt and the Mediterranean countries and to foster cross-border artistic dialogue. The previous edition of the exhibition, held at the Acropolis Museum in Athens and the Bibliotheca Alexandrina in 2024, served as a visual and human bridge between the civilizations of Greece and Egypt. It featured works by artists from both countries and hosted a wide range of cultural and intellectual activities in collaboration with the Cavafy Archives, the Benaki Museum, and the Onassis foundation. This year, the exhibition will be held in Milan, Italy, taking place at Galleria Fumagalli from June 30 to July 31, 2025, and on July 1 and 2 at MA*GA Museum, one of the leading institutions for contemporary art in northern Italy. A curated selection of Egyptian and Italian artists will participate within a creative framework that reflects the richness and intersection of cultural narratives across the Mediterranean. The exhibition will also travel to Alexandria in October and November 2025, where it will be hosted across several prominent cultural venues, further deepening the artistic exchange and fostering creative dialogue between the two nations. Nadine Abdel Ghaffar, founder of Art D'Égypte by Culturvator, said: "I'm proud to be launching the second edition of 'Tale of Two Cities' in Milan, a city that has long been a hub of art and civilizational dialogue. This project is an extension of our vision to reconnect Mediterranean cities through art and culture, offering platforms that reflect the diversity and shared creativity of the region's people. We believe that art can transcend borders, and that Alexandria will always remain a symbol of this cultural convergence. Our ambition is to transform this project into an annual initiative, partnering with a new Mediterranean coastal country every year." "Tale of Two Cities" is more than just an art exhibition; it is a sustainable cultural initiative that seeks to reconnect Mediterranean cities through art, history, and human dialogue reaffirming Alexandria's role as a historic bridge and a city that celebrates openness and cultural exchange.
