With CULTURATI, cities, and regions can take advantage of the creative potential of their Cultural and Creative Industries (CCIs) and citizens in producing content with artistic and cultural value. Nevertheless, CULTURATI can be used by venue and site-based CCIs (e.g. museums, art galleries, art fairs, biennial events, palaces, castles, historic town centers, cities), creative professionals (e.g. artists, authors, handcraft designers, freelancers, painters, film and animation producers) and citizens. In this way, a game or a route for a person touring a city, a region, or a site will be co-produced with the help of content created by various individuals in public, forming a new cultural experience and dissemination.

I know I’m not supposed to pick favourites but the best part of managing communications at UNESCO in Pakistan is conceptualising and visualising our culture expertise and activities. Did you know that museums in Pakistan showcase the very rich cultural diversity of the country but are not always operating at full potential? They have the power and responsibility to tell us stories about ourselves and the world around us but can also contribute to the sustainable development of the country, transmit scientific knowledge, complement educational programmes, involve diverse local communities, and develop specialized experiences for people with disabilities, in order to create a much larger impact. How do we look at our centuries old artefacts? Illustration and animation by: Mahnoor Khawaja

Language is very important.

Saudi Arabia is a country that is rich in history, culture, and creativity. With a young and growing population, there is tremendous potential for the development of the cultural and creative industry sectors in the country. To realize this potential, it is essential to have clear definitions for these industries and their associated sectors. The definitions of cultural and creative industry sectors (CCIs) can vary across nations. Therefore, the وزارة الثقافة Ministry of Culture has adapted the classification provided by the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) to align with the Saudi context. This classification provides a definition of the 30 sectors that cover the full scope of CCIs. Of these, twenty-four are within the portfolio of the Ministry of Culture. To arrive at the current 16 cultural sectors that serve as the basis for the strategy, some of these sectors were combined, and others were renamed. In addition, five sectors that fall under the portfolio of other entities, but are not covered by the Ministry of Culture, were added for consideration. The rituals sector, a part of the intangible cultural heritage that focuses on the traditions and rites linked to religious practices, was not included in this report. The 16 cultural sectors identified by the Ministry of Culture are architecture and urban design, art and museums, books and publishing, crafts and traditional arts, design, film, performing arts, heritage, language and translation, libraries and documentation, media and digital, music, fashion, television and radio, video games, and animation. These sectors are significant contributors to the country's economy, job creation, and overall cultural landscape. Therefore, having clear definitions is critical for fully understanding and developing the potential of these industries. The Ministry of Culture aims to leverage the potential of these sectors to enhance a country's soft power and create a vibrant cultural and creative ecosystem. The development of these sectors is also aligned with Vision 2030, which seeks to diversify the economy, enhance quality of life, and create a vibrant society. By focusing on the development of cultural and creative industries, Saudi Arabia can achieve these goals while preserving the country's rich cultural heritage. A clear definition of the cultural and creative industry sectors in Saudi Arabia is crucial for the development of these sectors and for realizing their potential. The Ministry of Culture has adapted the UNESCO classification to align with the Saudi context, resulting in 16 cultural sectors serving as the basis for the country's strategy. By focusing on the development of these sectors, Saudi Arabia can create economic opportunities, enhance its quality of life, and preserve its rich cultural heritage.

INTERNATIONAL ART EXHIBITION “NO/BODY shaming” COLLABORATIVE UNIQUE & UNITED ARTWORK The upcoming art exhibition will focus on the theme of "NO/BODY shaming" and aims to bring attention to the issue of: body image and self-acceptance, self-love. Our different artworks will promote TOLERANCE towards different opinions, religions, and different communities, while encouraging KINDNESS, mindfulness, compassion, and ACCEPTANCE of people’s diverse backgrounds and looks. The problem presented by artists from all over the world concerns adults and young people, in everyday life and in the virtual world. We believe that our DIVERSITY is our strength, not our disadvantage. The overarching goal of this exhibition is to eliminate the practice of self-hate and foster an environment of positivity, INCLUSIVITY and UNDERSTANDING. Through the power of art, we hope to inspire individuals to embrace their uniqueness, celebrate the beauty of diversity and force visitors to discuss problems related to multiculturalism. We would like to show the pieces that demonstrate the beauty and diversity of all body types, background, colour, race, way of thinking…embrace and appreciate the unique qualities that make us all beautifully different. The exhibition will be presented at Collect Art World Gallery and Malaysian Gallery in Kuala Lumpur and will be continued at other Galleries all over the World, as a symbol of integrity, unity in the subject as well as strength at the international Art Exchange. Selected artworks will continue to be displayed at the art galleries in Poland. The exhibitions should be a platform for artists to showcase their creativity and engage with the audience on this important international problem. All health institutes, organisations, schools, universities, who would like to support promoting mental health are welcome for collaboration. All sponsors, donors, are welcome to join our sponsorship and patronage program. #exhibition #body #join #art #foundation

"Art Jakarta is unique not just because it offers a platform for artworks typically ignored by other, more Eurocentric fairs in Asia (such as the aforementioned Art SG), but because it presents a selection of smaller booths with grassroots, outsider, and street art that is often excluded by institutions and commercial ventures. This arrangement, whether intentional or not, proved that the curatorial approach dared to embrace kitsch, experimentation, and a certain amount of provocation, while breathing new life into the somewhat stale and monolithic nature of most regional art fairs." Here is my conclusion of the art fair in Jakarta. https://lnkd.in/gWvYWd4Q

My first article of 2024 is on breaking bread and how different multidisciplinary artists have responded to the concept of sharing a meal to further discourse. What more would you like to read? I was thinking of also covering the”All Things Food & Culture” edition for Istanbul since I am here. Please write your thoughts! https://lnkd.in/eAqmuSWS

Fine Art Expo: Beauty & Culture Sure, the art world can be fast-paced and demanding, but one of the biggest rewards (besides getting up close to masterpieces!) is the incredible people you meet. In my role at [ARTEPACT], working on fine art exhibitions, I'm constantly surrounded by fascinating individuals. From the passionate artists creating groundbreaking work to the seasoned collectors with their in-depth knowledge, every interaction is an enriching experience. And it's not just about the art itself. Working with international exhibitions allows me to connect with people from all walks of life and cultural backgrounds. Discussing a piece of art can be a window into another perspective, sparking conversations and fostering understanding that transcends language. Just last month, collaborating with a curator team from Beijing on an exhibition about artistic education in their tradition opened my eyes to a whole new artistic tradition. Sharing insights and navigating the cultural nuances of presenting these works was both challenging and rewarding. These encounters not only broaden my professional network but also challenge my own biases and perspectives. It's a constant learning experience that keeps me engaged and inspired. Who else in the art world thrives on the connections they make? Share your stories in the comments!
