The first edition of Ta’beer Literary Forum, hosted by Dubai Culture & Arts Authority (Dubai Culture) at Mohammed Bin Rashid Library on November 22-23, featuring leading Emirati writers, intellectuals, and media professionals, received an extensive audience participation and engagement.

Mohammed bin Rashid Library, in collaboration with the Abu Dhabi Arabic Language Centre, has organised The “Taha Hussein Days”, to celebrate the legendary writer’s birthday and great legacy. The event has attracted a large audience and great engagement.

Under the patronage of His Excellency Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, Minister of Tolerance and Coexistence, and in line with its mission to encourage cross-cultural dialogue and understanding, the Abu Dhabi Music & Arts Foundation (ADMAF) is presenting a social, cultural, and economic event under the title Creative Nation 961 from November 21 to 24 in collaboration with the Lebanese Business Council in Abu Dhabi.

Magnom Properties is partnering with French contemporary artist, Richard Orlinksi, to debut a collection of his colourful animal-inspired resin sculptures at the company’s first project in Egypt’s New Administrative Capital (NAC).

Dubai Culture and Arts Authority, (Dubai Culture), is opening the eyes of the local community, to present to them the origins of an ancient Middle Eastern artform through its ‘Arabic Calligraphy Art’ project. This represents a creative platform through which the Authority interacts with Arabic calligraphy enthusiasts, giving the opportunity to learn it and develop their skills. The project, running from 27 November until May 2023, is born out of Dubai Culture's commitment to preserving calligraphy and consolidating the status of the Arabic language and its aesthetics.

The Abu Dhabi Music & Arts Foundation (ADMAF) is participating in the 14th and largest edition of the nation’s leading art fair, Abu Dhabi Art, held from 16-20 November at Manarat Al Saadiyat, with an enriching programme of events, including discussion panels and art displays.
