Riyadh, 08 August 2023, The forthcoming exhibition, titled "Between Two Cultures," curated by the esteemed Ministry of Culture, is poised to take place in the vibrant city of Riyadh in September. This multidisciplinary exposition promises to delve into the intricate tapestry of cultures that span the globe, offering an enlightening journey of discovery. By juxtaposing the rich Saudi culture with various other cultural milieus, the exhibition aims to shed light on the intriguing parallels and divergences that exist between them. The inaugural edition of the exhibition will center its attention on the cultural fabric of the Republic of Yemen, with the intention of presenting and elucidating its intricate interplay with Saudi culture. Moreover, the exhibition aims to highlight the shared elements and resemblances between these two cultural entities, encompassing a diverse array of domains including fashion, visual arts, architecture, design, and culinary arts. The curatorial framework of this exhibition is rooted in the theoretical construct of intersectionality, which serves as a guiding principle to immerse the audience in an exploration of the boundless connections between two distinct cultures. By employing two fundamental concepts, namely clarity and transparency, this exhibition aims to elucidate the shared characteristics, divergences, and shared experiences that emerge at the intersections of these cultures. The concept of clarity serves to accentuate the parallels, disparities, and commonalities between the two cultures, while transparency symbolizes the ethos of openness and exchange that characterizes their intercultural dynamics. This exhibition, curated by the Saudi Ministry of Culture, aims to enhance the cultural literacy of its attendees by showcasing the intricate tapestry of artistic heritage originating from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Republic of Yemen. The primary objective of this endeavor is to enhance the interconnectedness of relationships between these two amicable communities by accentuating shared attributes, showcasing the multifaceted nature of their respective cultures within a modern artistic framework, and fostering global cultural interactions as a key strategic pursuit of the ministry.
