This event is organized by AUC Press and Bookstores. In her talk “Heritage for the Living in the ‘City of the Dead’”, Agnieszka Dobrowolska will examine how conservation and preservation of historic heritage can serve as a vehicle for social and economic development for the present and the future. She will present the work that ARCHiNOS Architecture, which she directs, carries out in Cairo’s culturally rich, but impoverished and underprivileged Sultan Qaitbey neighborhood. The project, funded primarily by the European Union, combines heritage preservation, urban upgrade, social development work, and promotion of contemporary art and culture.
Access to the event is on a first-come, first-served basis, and according to hall capacity.
