Join us this Tuesday for a talk by international artists, Mohamed Abdelkarim, Nadia Kaabi-Linke and Siska, at Liverpool John Moores University’s School of Art and Design.
Port Cities is a new international visual arts project presented by Liverpool Arab Arts Festival in partnership with the British Council.

Mohamed Abdelkarim, Laila Hida, Nadia Kaabi-Linke, and Siska are currently on a research residency in Liverpool for the project. This will inform the development of new artwork exploring the social, historical and cultural complexities of port cities in Liverpool, as well as those within the Middle East and North Africa region.

The exhibition will premiere at Liverpool Arab Arts Festival in July 2024 before travelling to Lebanon, Egypt, Morocco and Tunisia.
