Gypsum Gallery is one of Cairo's most internationally engaged contemporary art spaces, with a programme of exhibitions that participates in fairs like Art Basel and consistently takes on substantive social and political themes rather than playing it safe. Its roster mixes Egyptian and Middle Eastern artists with European and American ones.
The gallery sits on a quiet residential street in Degla, a part of Maadi away from the Road 9 commercial strip — worth combining with a walk through the neighbourhood's villas.
