Street Art and the Mediterranean City: Walls That Speak

EuroMed Café is an independent magazine devoted to the cinema, music, and cultural life of the Mediterranean world. We cover the filmmakers, musicians, and writers whose work moves between Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East — artists who refuse to be confined by a single language, a single tradition, or a single shore.

Our archive includes original interviews with some of the most important cultural figures of the Euro-Mediterranean dialogue: Egyptian filmmaker Youssef Chahine on walking bridges between civilizations, novelist Amin Maalouf on the violence of singular identity, and Algerian director Yamina Bachir Chouikh on making the film Algeria needed to see.

We trace the sounds that define the region — from the rebetiko tavernas of Athens and the gnawa nights of Essaouira to the fado houses of Lisbon and the electronic underground of Beirut. And we follow the short films and features that have crossed borders from Cannes to Cairo, Venice to Marrakech.
