3la Maddad

3la Maddad is an initiative to strengthen the cultural ecosystem in Egypt. Adopting the approach of the cultural ecosystem means we see culture as a dynamic structure in which artistic production and distribution are closely interconnected with various actors and resources. This interplay creates space for creative processes and sustainable development.

60 cultural spaces will receive grants, participate in cultural management trainings, and benefit from and mentoring to develop one-year programs. Program development starts with what’s already there: existing spaces, technology, and team capacity. Participation is open to all via public calls, with applications reviewed by an independent jury. We welcome small emerging spaces as well as medium-sized and best established venues to join this initiative.
