Our Culture, our identity Message from the Minister Saudi culture is experiencing a new golden age. Thanks to the active en- gagement of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdu- laziz Al Saud, and His Royal Highness Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince, Deputy Prime Minister of the Council of Ministers, and Minister of Defense, a cultural re- naissance is gathering pace. Cultural institutions, and those in- volved in the creative industries, have been empowered to carry for- ward the traditions and heritage handed down through the genera- tions of our people. The result has we see around us today. Our beloved country is experiencing a wave of renewal and reform on all fronts. Culture in its multifaceted forms, is integral to this. Vision 2030, by recognizing it as “indispensable to our quality of life,” has given Saudi citizens and residents to enjoy a culture greater prominence than it broader and more inclusive range of providing an overview of creative has ever enjoyed before. cultural experiences. and artistic trends and patterns.

Our Culture, our identity The cultural moment currently underway in the Kingdom is part of a long history of transformations experienced by Saudi society. It stands as a testament to the richness and diversity built up by thousands of trailblazers and intel- lectuals. It draws from the extensive literature left by Saudi historians and writers who have chronicled key facets of our cultural history. Nevertheless, this movement still has a long way to go, as many aspects of our culture still need to be documented. Such documentation is itself a form of creativity and adds to the value of the hard work already completed by our forebears. Systematic documentation, which in many areas of Saudi culture remains absent or sporadic, is of particular importance to this initiative. Today, we are witnessing the revitalization of cultural institutions as a result of Vision 2030, through which the King- dom of Saudi Arabia promotes culture as an anchor of identity, a central component of the quality of life in Saudi society, and an important contributor to economic vitality. A number of factors have emerged as part of the trans- formation of the local cultural ecosystem, including interactions between the public sector, relevant civil-society we aspire to as one that takes pride in “the historical and cultural legacy of our Saudi, Arab, and Islamic heritage”(1) and cherishes national values and identity. A “vibrant society” builds upon culture to expand and improve the quality of life, and the creative industry has helped to reinforce the second pillar of Vision 2030, the “thriving economy.” The Ministry of Culture thus espouses a vision centered on the promotion of culture: 1) as a way of life; 2) as a contribu- tor to economic growth; and 3) as an opportunity for international exchange. - ditions and contexts of cultural activity, and the ways it is transforming.

  • Saudi Arabia Pioneering and Leadership
    1 2 SAUDI ARABIA PIONEERING AND LEADERSHIP By Khodr Saleh First published in 2001 by THE ARAB WORLD MEDIA CENTER – AUSTRALIA 3 In The Name of God Most Gracious, Most Merciful SAUDI ARABIA PIONEERING AND LEADERSHIP Edited by: Khodr Saleh Updated Edition 2003 First published in 2001 by: THE ARAB WORLD MEDIA CENTER - AUSTRALIA P.O.BOX 766 RIVERWOOD NSW 2210 - SYDNEY - AUSTRALIA ISBN 0646400347 4 Preface By: Khodr Saleh The scene that the Arabic author Amin Elrihani discovered shortly after his first visit to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and his audience with King Abdel-Aziz, was unusual scene. It was as he expressed in one of his essays a total world that needs days and probably months to explore. It was probably similar to the scene I grasped few days after my arrival to Riyadh, the city I visited for the first time. I was invited by the invitation of the high committee chaired by the Governor of Riyadh, Prince Salman ben Abdel-Aziz, for the centennial celebration of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Before I go through the component of this world scenery, I must admit that I arrived to Riyadh holding only this holy vision which every Muslim carries since his birth, for the land of revelation and the birth place of the Prophet’ s mission and the home of the most noble the Prophet. Added to that another traditional vision spread by some media heavily clouded with vagueness and confusion about the land of camels and deserts that suddenly luck smiled on it with wealth and oil.
