The Liquid Continent Exhibition features multimedia installation that offers a contemporary perspective of three great Mediterranean cities: Alexandria, Istanbul and Venice. It explores the many aspects and faces of daily life revealing contemplations on their inhabitants’ social behaviours and surroundings. Placed within the context of their glorious past, the Exhibition poses a question within the current context of the cities: “What is the liquid continent? Does is it still exist?”
The journey into the identity and soul of the three port-cities, curated by Cairo-based Archinos Architecture, is a result of the project co-funded by the European Union, through its Delegation to Egypt, within the context of its annual Call for Proposals for Cultural Activities in Egypt and by Orascom Telecom and Mercedes-Benz Alexandria Automotive Co.
