The Minister of Culture, Shaikha Mai bint Mohammed Al Khalifa, inaugurated the (25-years-of-Arab- Creativity) Arts Show, organized by the Ministry of Culture in cooperation with the Arab World’s Institute (AWI) in Paris in the presence of the Arab World Institute’s General Director, Dr. Mona Khazendar, the Regional Arab Center for International Heritage director Dr. Moneer Bu-Shnaq, the scientific curator of the show Ehab Al-Labban, and a number of diplomats, intellectuals and plastic artists.
The Minister of Culture expressed utmost delight towards the Arab map as it harmonizes and re-converges on the visual arts and language. The arts show was conceived from the memory of Arab artists’ artistic space, embodiment of expression of queries, existential masterpieces, with participation of 33 Arab artists on the occasion of the elapse of 25 years since the foundation of the Arab World’s Institute in Paris.

The show continues for two months until 15th September 2013 when it comes to its destination in Manama as the largest contemporary arts show ever organized in the history of the Paris-based Arab World’s Institute.
