General Information
The Contemporary Image Collective (CIC) is an independent non-profit artist initiative founded in 2004 by a collective of artists and professional photographers, focusing on the visual image and the development of contemporary visual arts and culture in Egypt.
Mission and Objectives

Our main goal is to create a platform for an active, reflective local community that supports contemporary artistic and professional practices. CIC aims to trigger a critical dialogue around current visual culture by encouraging production, organising exhibitions and initiating educational projects.
The CIC offices and studios are located on the second floor and rooftop of a charming 1920’s villa in Mounira, a once-affluent residential neighborhood near Downtown Cairo. Exhibitions, photography courses, film screenings, performances, lectures and workshops are held regularly.
CIC aims to promote the enrichment of the local visual culture by emphasizing the role of the visual image in shaping and documenting society at large.
