Nadine is an Egyptian curator, art consultant and cultural ambassador, a multitalented professional. Her hard-work, interest and dedication to art and design help her enhance the cultural and social development landscape in Egypt. In 2005 she decided to professionalize her passion by studying curating
at the Central Saint Martin school of arts in London and started organizing exhibitions in Egypt and Dubai to promote Egyptian art and artists. Her well-kept connections with collectors and artists are a solid base for her work. She is committed to documenting Egypt’s modern art heritage. As a result of her experience and commitment to the promotion of Egyptian art she established the art consultancy Art D’Égypte in 2016, which aims to promote Egyptian art nationally, regionally and internationally. To date, Nadine has curated fourth highly successful exhibitions: Eternal Light at the Egyptian Museum (2017); Nothing Vanishes, Everything Transforms at the Manial Palace (2018); Reimagined Narratives at four sites on al-Mu’izz Street in Historic Cairo, a UNESCO World Heritage site (2019) and Forever is now (2021). Thanks to her efforts, Art D’Égypte was subsequently invited to participate in Abu Dhabi Art and ArtGenève. Accessibility and democratization of art have always been at the heart of Nadine’s vision. By activating public spaces and historic sites with interactive exhibits open to the public, the events attract large numbers of visitors of all ages and from all walks of life, transforming art from an intimidating spectacle to an inclusive community occasion. In recognition of her dedication, Nadine was recently invited by UN Women to give a talk at Palais des Nations, Genève about Egyptian women and their impact on art and society. She was awarded the title Chevalier de l’ordre des arts des lettres in 2021 by the French government in recognition for her efforts to enrich the art world and was named one of Egypt’s Top 50 Women, an award given annually to honor female figures with a positive influence on society.
