Finding Projects Association logo - Design by Engy Aly

Finding Projects Association is a non profit international network designed to realize new and unconventional projects across the Middle East and Mediterranean regions exposing a regional culture on an international platform. The Association has been quietly founded since 2006, with the realization of exhibitions starting from Cairo and San Francisco, and grew across the Middle East and Europe in 2010 with exhibitions at the 8th Manifesta Biennale (Murcia, Spain), Maraya Art Centre (Sharjah, UAE), Cairo Biennale, and Museums in the United States and Gulf region. All projects are mainly directed and produced by Aida Eltorie, if not otherwise curatorially involved. Finding Projects Association was founded in an art academy in Florence, Italy, under the recognition of the school’s Director Patrizio Travagli, who is also one of the practicing artists in the association. The Accademia D’Arte is the founding base for the Association where they encourage the recognition of international culture and welcome students from all over the world to learn and study the foundation of the arts at what ever age they would like to start in. Finding Projects Association offers visibility and production awareness to individuals and collectives who have no means to seek funds, but have very significant projects to show in site-specific spaces. This means we help formulate a support structure for the artistic community, whether through media and communication channels, or portfolio and project structures to their proposals. This includes consulting services which act as a form of publicity, and awareness to groundbreaking cultural movements happening everywhere; by realizing and pushing the capacities artists, curators, and cultural anthropologists have to offer.
The medium varies from published materials, to large scale installations, photo-based mediums, video projects, sound analogies and the finer arts. Medium is no object; however, its detection is key. Finding Projects Association is the first visual construct located between Italy and Egypt, it combines narratives of contemporary social history under the auspices of cultural institutions and funding bodies identifiable by the projects found.
