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.
