Beyond Paper Plane: When Children's Books Become Art, Objects, and Adventures

SeeNews PRESS RELEASE Presented by the Czech Centres and the Embassy of the Czech Republic in Cairo, the new Beyond Paper Plane exhibition presents a carefully curated selection of contemporary Czech illustrated books that challenge and expand the traditional concept of the children's book. Divided into eight thematic sections, Beyond Paper Plane highlights the intersection of literature, fine art, and design — featuring works that incorporate three dimensional objects, textile techniques, paper collage, pop-up architecture, and interactive elements. Emphasizing tactile engagement and visual experimentation, the exhibition invites audiences of all ages to experience books not only as reading material but as multisensory, imaginative spaces. After being showcased in Prague, the Beyond Paper Plane exhibition has already travelled to Tokyo, Seoul, and Paris. On July 27, it will open in Cairo in exclusive partnership with Bibliothek Egypt (branch Arkan Plaza, Sheikh Zayed City). 'Beyond Paper Plane invites us to see the book not only as something we read, but as something we experience with all our senses. It brings together Czech artists who challenge the boundaries of children's illustration — through texture, space, and play. We are delighted to bring this unique Czech project to Cairo and share it with new audiences,' adds Tereza Svášková, Exhibition Coordinator. The exhibition is hosted at Bibliothek Egypt, Arkan Plaza, Sheikh Zayed City (Unit SY- 203, Building F3, 2nd floor), and will be open to the public daily from 11 AM to 10 PM, from July 28 until August 9. The opening night will take place on July 27 at 7 PM. Entry is free of charge, and visitors are encouraged to interact with selected works on site. 'Bibliothek was established in 2021 by Amr Barakat as a cultural hub, bringing together a bookstore, gallery, and café under one roof. The concept was introduced to Egypt for the first time, offering the community a space that highlights the role of intellect and art in society. That's why we're especially keen to host the Beyond Paper Plane exhibition, which aligns perfectly with our mission of celebrating creativity and cultural dialogue,' say the Founders of Bibliothek. The audience is also encouraged to join the accompanying events.
