I spoke Dr. Jihan ZakiMinister of Culture, during her seminar at events Creative Industry Summitabout the activities of the Ministry of Culture since it took office 3 months ago. The symposium is moderated by Sami Kriteh, Director of Cultural Programs at the British Council.
Statements of the Minister of Culture
The Minister of Culture said: Serving the citizen is a very important and difficult thing. From my first week in the ministry, we went to the metro and performed artistic performances, but we did not receive people’s acceptance until we achieved overwhelming success and became in demand. The Biennale d’Alexandrie will also return after 16 years of hiatus. She continued in her speech: Three months ago, I took over the task of the Ministry of Culture, and it is not an easy system at all. Art and creativity are a difficult unit to measure, but I believe that the unit of measurement is the street, not our circles.
Creative Industry Summit events
This year’s events are full of dialogue and inspiring experiences, as each session is designed to be an open space for real ideas and discussions, far from traditional templates, to bring together industry leaders and creatives in an interactive atmosphere full of energy.
Over the course of two days, the summit brings together a number of the most prominent influential voices in the creative scene in the region, to provide inspiring discussions and opportunities to communicate and exchange experiences, and open new horizons for cooperation and building partnerships.
