A history of southern surrealism, between Monaco and Alexandria: a singular journey that defies established maps, far removed from the nationalist markers of a Eurocentric history of modernity. Monaco-Alexandria presents itself as an exhibition emancipated from the specter of nationalist and Eurocentric art history. It is remarkable, therefore, to start from Monaco and its New National Museum to rethink North-South relations, particularly between key areas of Mediterranean Europe, including its African and Eastern dimensions. Texts: Morad Montazami, Arthur Debsi, Mehri Khalil, amina Diab, Francesca Rondinelli, Marc Kober, Clea Daridan
