Artellewa space for contemporary art is located in Ard El Lewa, a residential area in the northwest of Giza, situated west of the railway, which is one of the outskirt-slums of Greater Cairo. There is until now, although loads of people live there, no place or space for art or other cultural activities like movies, concerts or theatres existing.
The space itself comprises from two small exhibition rooms, two showcases of 2.5 x 2.5 meters; one which is open to the street, providing by-passers with a view to the inside of the “shop”. Another exhibition room is located inside the building. In these rooms the work of different artists, who create their pieces especially for this concept of a small open space, is shown. Furthermore, there is a roof top space (~80 sqm), where the exhibition accompanying discussions, “Meet-the-Artist”, art lectures as well as film screenings are being held.
