BJCEM 2007

These are the words I found to write a motivation letter.
My story with the Biennale started when in Marseille, France Irrmann asked me to represent Alexandria in Athens bjcem 2003, telling me that it was beneficial for the young artists.

When I took over the artists selection for Naples 2005 I remained faithful to that commitment, sailing at the margin of the already established networks and Institutions.

I was helped and supported by friends from Espace Culture, La Friche Belle de mai (Claudine Dussolier), l'Atelier d'Alexandrie (Esmat Dawestachi), BJCEM (Alessandro Stillo), the French Cultural Center (Brigitte Remer), who were never late when an advice was needed, and made the workshops and the Egyptian representation possibly achieved.

I voluntarily put in it all my energy, as I believe that art and knowledge is the key to safe and peaceful relations.
It was fast and logical that the Biennale of Alexandria called me to be part of its Higher Committee for the organization in 2005 Alexandria Biennale, and their decision came to me as a surprise.

It was with this objective that Alexandrian artists were represented in Naples Passion 2005, and the Biennale is programmed in Alexandria with, "Our Creative Diversity: Kairo's" in 2007.
