00:00Buongiorno a buongiorno a l'agenda, sono Jane Witherspoon e sono felice di oggi per essere
00:12chiamata da Mohammed Khalifa al Mubarak, Presidente DCT Abu Dhabi. Abu Dhabi, con il supporto
00:20del Departamento di Cultura e Turismo, continua a posizionarsi come un centro culturale di città.
00:28Can you begin by telling me about Abu Dhabi's commitment to creating a cultural and artistic legacy?
00:35We believe that culture is the building blocks of any forward-thinking society.
00:39We believe it is principle for our youth. Hence, these investments that we're doing in culture,
00:45whether it's in museums or educational programs or exhibits and et cetera,
00:50they're predominantly done really as an educating force.
00:54because we believe understanding somebody else's culture, your culture, your history, others' history,
01:00puts you in a position to really look at this world from a global perspective.
01:04One of the cultural highlights here is the Abu Dhabi collection.
01:07Now that is going to be added to with a very exciting announcement,
01:12and that is the Abu Dhabi Masterpieces Collection.
01:15Can you tell me about the relevance of this and why it's so exciting to be bringing this to Abu Dhabi?
01:20So it's imperative for us that collections are shared with the world.
01:24And this was the principle thinking of collecting.
01:28You know, when 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, where the vast audience can come,
01:46see something either for the first time, see something side by side by the same artist,
01:51see something within the same collective, and give them a perspective that they have never seen.
01:55Why is it important for culture to drive and support social change, and 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, you see that shimmer in their eyes.
02:18You see the creative juices running through their brain, seeing things and saying,
02:22now I can create. And 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, through different lessons throughout the day,
02:44you're always infused with the power of art.
02:46Mohammed, 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 talking to you. Thank you so much.
02:53Thank you.
