The Cairo Art Book Fair is an annual art book fair held in Cairo and a traveling selection of publications that appears at various art book fairs and venues around the world. By combining these activities, the fair seeks to foster discussions around alternative publishing from the perspective of Cairo and similar (Arab/African) cities. At its core, the Cairo Art Book Fair serves as a meeting point that brings together art books, magazines, publications, publishers, thinkers, editors, artists, cultural workers, and readers. It offers an opportunity to learn about and celebrate the diversity of contemporary publishing practices.
