Alexandria Contemporary Arts Forum (ACAF) was a non-profit art space founded by curator/art critic Bassam El Baroni and artist Mona Marzouk (and run in colloboration with artist Mahmoud Khaled and others from the community) in late 2005. It was based near downtown Alexandria, Egypt. ACAF programmed workshops, international symposia, group and solo exhibitions, produced projects for young artists based in Egypt, and published free publications. Its focus – over the span of seven years – was engaging young artists with contemporary art and its discourse.
