Meet Andrea Cetrulo and John Bigham-Hall, curators of the ‘School for Sonic Memory’ residency.

Organised with the support of the European Union’s Creative Europe programme, the project ‘Alexandria: (Re)activating Common Urban Imaginaries’ (ALEX) aims to take a fresh look at the relation between arts, heritage and urban life in the Mediterranean and in Europe, through the prism of the ancient and modern cities of Alexandria, their creativity and cosmopolitanism.

The project draws on the resources of eight main partners:
– the Museum of the Civilisations of Europe and the Mediterranean ‘Mucem’ (France)
– the University of Leiden (the Netherlands)
– Kunsthal Aarhus (Denmark)
– the Undo Point Contemporary Art centre (Cyprus)
– the Royal Museum of Mariemont (Belgium)
– Bozar – Centre for Fine Arts Brussels (Belgium)
– Onassis Stegi (Greece)
– the Cittadellarte – Fondazione Pistoletto (Italy)

In addition, the project benefits from the support of associated partners contributing to its success elsewhere in Europe and in Egypt:
– Theatrum Mundi (France – United Kingdom)
– the French Institute of Alexandria (Egypt)
– CLUSTER (Egypt)
