four-week fully-funded placement with Alwan wa Awtar, Cairo (9 June – 2 July 2026)
In this fully-funded internship with Alwan wa Awtar you will be working alongside Alwan wa Awtar’s staff with young people delivering art workshops and art projects.
Established in 2005, Alwan wa Awtar (A&A) is a non-governmental organisation based in Cairo, Egypt that offers artistic and non-formal educational services to children and youth in different community settings, both urban and rural. A&A’s goal is to enrich children and youth social and cultural wellbeing as well as awaken them to their full potential as dignified, authentic and skilled individuals, who actively engage with their own development and that of their communities.
Across the years, A&A has developed a unique experience in operating highly participatory learning spaces in multiple communities (namely Mokattam, Ezbet El-Nasr, & Kafr Hamza) adopting “arts for development” as its core methodology. Today, A&A runs three service units: the Mokattam community space, the Montessori child corner, as well as the Knowledge Hub which brings A&A’s know-how to various entities active in the cultural, educational and developmental field across Egypt. Since its inception, A&A has worked with more than 10000 children and youth, 250 mothers and 50 partners.
During your time in Cairo, you will stay with other national and international artists at ADEF (Arab Digital Expression Foundation), a partner organisation of A&A that offers accommodation for artists (https://home.adef.xyz).
Please join our information meeting at 4pm on Monday, 16 March at the Fine Art meeting room(behind the Fine Art shop) where we can discuss the internship and all that is involved.
EAS is a weekly group of Fine Art students who meet on a Friday afternoon to explore the world of electric and acoustic sound. Led by musical instrument designer and maker, Joseph Sallis we learn about and experiment with the excitting world of sound and how to bring that into studio practice and sound installation. From making zithers to oscilators, pickups to preamps, there is no end to the sonic possibilities!
