Culture Index exists to catalog cultural institutions online, and highlight the best practices that inspire us.
Launching with a focus on museums and building from there, we are a resource for both research and discovery. Browse information about online communications, and discover ideas with examples of what’s possible for cultural institutions in the digital space.
As a community project facilitated by Base, we invite you to use and contribute to this growing resource.
Medrar for Contemporary Art
Medrar sets the stage for artists seeking to have extensive conversations and collaborations with their peers to develop their purpose as active contemporary artists, thus creating a more dynamic and inspired movement. By tapping into this existing collective intelligence, Medrar encourages cooperation over competition among artists, locally and internationally, as well as between institutions, critics, and technologists, to engage and experiment in this rich playground of media arts. This non-profit art space, running since 2005, achieves this through hosting festivals, workshops, and events to stimulate the scene, providing a collaborative space for media artists, and documenting and disseminating audio-visual content on the contemporary art movement in Egypt.
