Dr. Nermeen Shams, founder of Lamasat – Shams Art Space, affirms her belief that art is a powerful force capable of building bridges between cultures, reviving the spirit, and leaving a lasting impact on human consciousness.
From this perspective, the Aswan International Painting Symposium serves as a beacon of creativity, where artists from around the world gather in Aswan—a city rich in history and beauty—to create a visual dialogue that connects the past with the present and reflects the diversity of artistic experiences and schools.
This initiative is not just an art event but a message to the world that Aswan remains an endless source of inspiration and a meeting point for arts and cultures. The organizers aspire to establish this symposium as an annual tradition, strengthening Aswan’s position on the global art map and supporting artists in their journey of creativity and free expression.
The symposium aims to enhance cultural dialogue between artists from different backgrounds and connect visual arts with Aswan’s unique archaeological sites. This contributes to highlighting Aswan as a hub for art and cultural tourism. The organizers hope to make this event an annual attraction that draws even more artists and creatives from around the world.
