00:00Hola y bienvenidos a la Agenda. Soy Jane Witherspoon y estoy honrado hoy a estar juntado por Mohamed Khalifa
00:14Al Mubarak, presidente de DCT Abu Dhabi. Abu Dhabi, con el apoyo del Departamento de Cultura
00:21y Turismo, continúa a posicionarse en un centro de cultura cultural. ¿Puedes empezar con
00:29por decirme sobre el compromiso de Abu Dhabi a crear un legado cultural y artístico?
00:35Nos creemos que la cultura es el bloco de cualquier sociedad forward-thinking.
00:39Nos creemos que es el principio para nuestros jóvenes.
00:42Así que estos investimientos que estamos haciendo en la cultura,
00:45si es en museos o en programas educacionales o en exhibits, etc.,
00:50son predominantemente realizados como una fuerza educativa.
00:54Porque nos creemos que entender la cultura de alguien, tu cultura, tu historia,
00:58tu historia, otros historia,
01:00te pone en posición para realmente mirar a este mundo desde una perspectiva global.
01:04Una de las características culturales aquí es el Departamento de Abu Dhabi.
01:07Ahora, eso va a ser añadido con un anuncio muy emocionante,
01:12y eso es el Departamento de Abu Dhabi.
01:15¿Puedes contarme sobre la relevancia de esto
01:17y por qué es tan emocionante para llevar esto a Abu Dhabi?
01:20So it's imperative for us that collections are shared with the world.
01:24And this was the principal thinking of collecting.
01:28When we looked at creating collections that give you a glimpse of the history of art throughout the world,
01:36throughout different regions, it's imperative for us that we collect things that we can host in our museums
01:41that can be showcased for the vast audience,
01:44where the vast audience can come, see something either for the first time,
01:48see something side by side by the same artist,
01:50see something within the same collective,
01:52and give them a perspective that they have never seen.
01:55Why is it important for culture to drive and support social change,
02:01and in particular as well, education?
02:04That's really important.
02:05When I visit the museums here in Abu Dhabi and see youth consume what they've just seen
02:12in a way that is so imaginative and so beautiful to see,
02:16you see that shimmer in their eyes.
02:18You see the creative juices running through their brain,
02:21seeing things and saying, now I can create.
02:24And, you know, we here in Abu Dhabi believe in the power of creation.
02:28And the fact of the matter is, focusing these institutions as educational institutions,
02:33focusing that these institutions have a direct link to school curriculars,
02:38whether through art history, through art programs,
02:41through different lessons throughout the day,
02:44you're always infused with the power of art.
02:46Mohamed, thank you so much for joining us on the agenda on Euronews today.
02:50Pleasure as always to talk to you.
02:51Always a pleasure to talk to you. Thank you so much.
02:54Thank you.
02:55Thank you.
