Her Highness Sheikha Latifa bint Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Chairperson of Dubai Culture and Arts Authority (Dubai Culture) and member of the Dubai Council, today concluded a series of visits and discussions across Dubai\u2019s creative sector with a visit to Alserkal Avenue.
HH Sheikha Latifa said: \u201cOur visits and discussions allowed us to assess first-hand the industry landscape and the situation faced by creatives. The insights we gathered will feed into our new plans for building a robust, sustainable future for the sector in Dubai.
\u201cOne of the main takeaways from our discussions was the urgent need to support individual creatives and SMEs within the sector in their growth process and extend the assistance they need to operate and innovate with ease. We will be working with relevant government entities to identify and implement the solutions necessary to support the industry in its journey of excellence,\u201d Her Highness added.
\u201cIt is critical that we have conversations and forge partnerships across the public and private sectors and the creative community, to proactively establish collaborations that can help identify solutions to boost the sector\u2019s resilience in these challenging times,\u201d Sheikha Latifa further said.
Her Highness\u2019 visits and discussions with key players in Dubai\u2019s cultural and creative sector are part of an extensive engagement launched recently with the industry to assist its recovery. The engagement featured visits to Dubai Design District (d3), followed by a discussion with members of Dubai\u2019s design community on the current state of the emirate\u2019s design industry. Dubai Culture also hosted a discussion with emerging writers in the UAE and members of the literary and publishing community in Dubai on the current state of the industry and its future.
Museums, public libraries, and all other cultural venues in Dubai including Alserkal Avenue, Art Jameel, d3 and DIFC are currently welcoming visitors. More announcements on the resumption of annual cultural events in Dubai are expected soon, chief among which are Dubai Design Week, Art Season and Art Dubai that will return in March 2021. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
