The proposal by ARCHINOS to the Delegation of the European Union in Egypt for “The Liquid Continent” project has been formally approved. The award ceremony was held on 4 March 2010 at the residence of the Head of Delegation of the European Union to Egypt, Ambassador Mark Franco.
The project will result in a multimedia exhibition in the Bibliotheca Alexandrina that will present the links between three great Mediterranean cities: Alexandria, Istanbul, and Venice, as well as in related cultural events. Manon Fantini and Mattia Fiumani are moving full speed ahead on the Liquid Continent, and will soon be joined by other ARCHINOS staff.
