Mission Statement

Pericentre Projects - Nida Ghouse, Malak Helmy, Shahira Issa was formed in October 2008 in Cairo.

The Kharita symposium, the first public event of Pericentre Projects, was organised in collaboration with the Townhouse Gallery of contemporary art, and co-ordinated with Dalia Suleiman.

This initiative grew out of the Townhouse Curatorial Programme, which was programmed by Laura Carderera and funded by the European Union through the Commission's Delegation to Egypt (MEDA Programme for Cultural Activities), the Spanish Embassy and the British Council.
