Alexandria Contemporary Arts Forum (ACAF) FACEBOOK ARCHIVE PAGE FOR ALEXANDRIA'S FIRST NON-PROFIT VISUAL ARTS SPACE, NOW CLOSED, ACAF RAN FROM DECEMBER 2005 - DECEMBER 2012

Alexandria Contemporary Arts Forum (ACAF) was a non-profit art space founded by curator/art critic Bassam El Baroni and artist Mona Marzouk (and run in colloboration with artist Mahmoud Khaled and others from the community) in late 2005. It was based near downtown Alexandria, Egypt. ACAF programmed workshops, international symposia, group and solo exhibitions, produced projects for young artists b

ased in Egypt, and published free publications. Its focus - over the span of seven years - was engaging young artists with contemporary art and its discourse. ACAF developed projects that balanced a pragmatic engagement with its direct context and a critical discursive approach. Its projects ranged from the publication 'Fifteen Ways to Leave Badiou' (2011) in which fifteen artists were invited to respond artistically to Alain Badiou's fifteen theses on contemporary art to Cleotronica (2008) a five month long media festival of workshops, tutorials, talks, and exhibitions, culminating in a two-day symposium. This page and ACAF's website remain as an archive of ACAF's projects in previous years.
