Museum as Hub

William Wells, Director of the Townhouse Gallery of Contemporary Art, moderates a conversation with Susan Hefuna, Ayman Ramadan, and Tarek Zaki, three of the artists included in the Museum as Hub project Antikhana. The exhibition title refers to the downtown Cairo neighborhood of the Townhouse Gallery—the district’s traditional name is Antikhana­—where a symbiotic coexistence between artists, writers, intellectuals, and conservative male workers from the “lanes,” or the streets, have informed the artists’ own practices.

The Townhouse Gallery’s project is on view in the Museum as Hub space on the fifth floor of the Museum from July 11–September 21, 2008.

*This event is free with Museum admission but tickets are required.
