Italy and Egypt, two shores of the Mediterranean, cradle of civilization.

One central to the culture of Europe, a bridge between North and South; the other central in that of the Middle East, a gateway that connects the Mediterranean to Africa. Two countries, two civilizations that together contain the history of a large part of humanity, a point of contact between continents, a crossroads of peoples.

Ancient and solid relations link the two countries, even if in the last few decades the opportunities for confrontation have decreased, following drastic changes that have taken place in the reciprocal socio-political contexts: if we look at the photos of Egyptian society in the 1950s, we find it unrecognizable compared to that of today; if we look closely, even Italy has seen its social, economic and cultural fabric deteriorate profoundly over the years.

RAMLA intends to promote an initiative based on the development of the potential inherent in the contact and exchange between life, cultural and artistic experiences, which refer to Italy and Egypt, as bearers of broad gazes on several worlds.

  The topics of interest concern culture in a broad sense, art, language, forms of social life, human and women's rights, direct experience of meetings, exchanges and travel, hospitality, conviviality.

The project is an attempt to represent different cultural trends around the themes of identity and integration between cultures, as an opportunity and a resource.

RAMLA is an opportunity to get to know and recognize each other, drawing from where the folds of time and history have marked different trajectories: only sensitivity and direct knowledge make it possible to overcome those barriers instrumentally set up by ideological systems objectively bearers of conflict, with the only intent to separate people and oppose peoples.

RAMLA is Sand, Forms in Movement, which question humanity, expressiveness, emotions, the very meaning of existence and coexistence; preserve, enhance diversity and "biodiversity", create "contaminated" movements, original and creative synthesis of the contemporary.
