Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Culture has launched the Saudi-Chinese Cultural Year 2025 in China, highlighting the strong and deep relations between both nations, according to the Saudi Press Agency.
This step marks a significant milestone in strengthening the bilateral cultural ties through a series of interactive events. Such events will further boost the cultural scene in both nations and deepen the historical ties between their peoples.
In February, the Ministry of Culture organized a prestigious Founding Day celebration in Beijing in collaboration with the Saudi Embassy. The celebration showcased Saudi heritage through artisan demonstrations of traditional handicrafts as well as displays of Arabic calligraphy.
The Ministry of Culture‘s Visual Arts Commission is currently organizing a significant exhibition of renowned Saudi contemporary artist Ahmed Mater. In cooperation with UCCA Edge, the exhibition will take place from March 8 to July 8, 2025, at the UCCA Edge in Shanghai. Titled “Antenna,” the event stands as the artist’s first major solo show in China.
Interestingly, the exhibition will provide the Chinese audience with an exclusive opportunity to explore a significant aspect of the contemporary art scene in the Kingdom. In addition, it will feature more than 100 artworks mirroring Mater’s artistic practice and cultural reflections.
