Local Community and project Description: Gudran association for Art and Development is a group of artists including painters , musicians , artists of theatre and cinema , who were motivated by what we can call “the social responsibility of the artist” to abandon the galleries and go out in the street to make a contact with the daily-lived reality. Those young artists, with a group of fishermen from El-Max region and surrounding as well as a group of interested in development field, all of them came to an agreement on using art as an introduction to development owing to its active and extending effect on individuals and society as well. Gudran sees art as that neutral area which allows the existence of dialogue on different levels. So it tried hard to create a climate of dialogue that allows acceptance of the other, as a first stage to enable us to spread the culture of social peace, through artistic group work.
Work: The idea of this work camp is based on providing the opportunity for the youths of the fishermen village in El Max-Alexandria, who are interested in photography, to work with other youths of different countries in a collective work camp for 14 days. The participants will use photography as a method to interact and make dialogue with people of all over Alexandria. Gudran will give these youths the chance to exhibit their work in a different, unique space- which is "El Dokan" Gallery.
El Dokan Gallery is an artistic space open to the street in one of the most famous markets of Alexandria.
NB: - "El Dokan" is a recent project of Gudran.
Cultural program:
The afternoon program will be full of cultural and Artistic activities.
