Benefiting from the renewal of rock art studies in Egypt, PowerArt aims at investigating how the rock art of the Lower Nile region was used by the rising socio-political elites to express and convey their power during the 4th and 3rd millennia BC, and how it could inform on relations and mutual influences between Upper Egyptian and Lower Nubian communities.
PowerArt is a research project co-funded by the National Science Centre in Poland and the European Union Framework Programme for Research and Innovation Horizon 2022 under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement no. 945339 (Project n° 2022/43/P/HS3/02953). The research is conducted at the Institute of Mediterranean and Oriental Cultures of the Polish Academy of Sciences (IKSIO PAN)
