CONEXÃO Event to Foster Cultural Exchange Between Saudi Arabia and Brazil

Under the patronage of Minister of Culture and Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Royal Institute of Traditional Arts Prince Badr bin Abdullah bin Farhan, the Confluence of Saudi-Brazilian Culture (CONEXÃO) is set to take place from January 30 to February 1 under the theme Eltiqa: The Saudi-Brazilian Traditional Arts.
 The exhibition, to be held at the King Fahad Cultural Center in Riyadh, will offer a unique cultural and artistic experience, highlighting the artistic harmony between the two nations.
 The event aims to enhance international cultural exchange by annually partnering with a country to spotlight shared connections in traditional arts. Following the success of its inaugural edition with the Republic of Korea in 2023, this second edition reaffirms the Royal Institute of Traditional Arts’ commitment to fostering international cultural dialogue.
 The CONEXÃO program will feature five traditional Saudi performances and five Brazilian performances, culminating in a blended dance that integrates traditional artistic elements from both nations. Additionally, a collaborative artwork created by two female artists from Saudi Arabia and Brazil will be showcased.
 The event will include over 15 cultural activities, such as workshops and educational sessions on performing and visual arts, aimed at enhancing cultural understanding and strengthening connections between the two cultures.
 CONEXÃO is part of the institute’s initiatives to promote artistic movement and international cultural exchange in Saudi Arabia. It aligns with the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030 by creating new cultural platforms to raise awareness of traditional arts and supporting efforts to preserve and share them locally and globally.
