ACAF cordially invites you to attend the launch program (in both Alexandria and Cairo) for its new Arabic/English publication Fifteen Ways to Leave Badiou. The publication invites fifteen artists, based in Egypt and the Middle-East, to interact with Alain Badiou's Fifteen Theses on Contemporary Art. Each artist was asked to develop an artwork in response to one specific thesis that was pre-selected based on conjectured relevance to the artist's work. The resulting publication brings to light the cross-struggles between hegemonic orders, art, philosophy, and universality.

Artists contributing to the publication are Mohamed Abdelkarim - Mohamed Allam - Doa Aly - Hamdi Attia - Hazem El Mestikawy - Adel El Siwi - Iman Issa - Mahmoud Khaled - Hassan Khan - Basim Magdy - Mona Marzouk - STANCE - Oraib Toukan - Akram Zaatari - Tarek Zaki.
