In a vibrant celebration of culture and creativity, the &ldquo;Street of Art&rdquo; (Sharea El Fen) initiative is returning to downtown Cairo as the Academy of Arts launches the second week of its public cultural programme at Al-Sharifain Street, according to a statement shared on the official page of the Ministry of Culture.
Held under the patronage of Prof. Dr. Nabila Hassan, President of the Academy of Arts, the events will take place from Thursday, 21 May to Saturday, 23 May, daily from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM.
The initiative reflects the Academy&rsquo;s ongoing vision of bringing art beyond traditional venues and into public spaces, making cultural and artistic experiences accessible to all segments of society through a diverse programme blending heritage with contemporary expression.
The week&rsquo;s programme features a wide range of artistic and interactive performances, including the traditional &ldquo;Sandouk El Donya&rdquo; (Box of the World) show, a creative workshop led by Dr. Adel Nagy, and a poetry segment presented by the Higher Institute of Child Arts. The programme also includes an &ldquo;Aragouz&rdquo; puppet performance in collaboration with Bayt al-Suhaymi.
The Higher Institute of Folk Arts will present authentic Egyptian heritage performances, including the &ldquo;Fellahi Dance&rdquo; and &ldquo;Tanoura,&rdquo; while the musical programme features &ldquo;Neapolitan Musical&rdquo; by Dr. Osama Ali, alongside an oriental singing performance by artist Lydia Farouk. The line-up also includes operatic singing and instrumental performances by Haneen El Sayed and Omar Nagy.
Alongside the performances, visual art exhibitions will run throughout the week from Thursday to Wednesday, showcasing painting, sculpture, ceramics, photography, graphic design, engraving and printmaking in collaboration with the Syndicate of Plastic Artists.
Organisers have also introduced interactive participation tools, allowing visitors to share feedback and suggestions through QR codes displayed on promotional materials.
The &ldquo;Street of Art&rdquo; initiative aims to strengthen the direct connection between audiences and the arts while revitalising cultural life in the public spaces of downtown Cairo.
By transforming a historic Cairo street into an open cultural stage, &ldquo;Street of Art&rdquo; is not only showcasing performances, but also redefining the relationship between people and art, proving that creativity becomes most powerful when it is shared in public spaces.
