Egyptian artist Abdulrahman Abuzahra and Bahraini artist Haifa Hussein stressed that the establishment of a generation that is closely related to culture requires a collective work involving official institutions with artists and artists, pointing out that some of the works currently offered do not amount to honing the imagination, knowledge and experiences of new generations.
This came during a seminar entitled "Illuminated Signs", held in the Hall of Thought and its Emirati media, Iman bin Sheiba, within the activities of the 11th session of Sharjah Children's Reading Festival, which will continue until April 27, at Expo Center Sharjah.
Abozahra, who goes beyond half a century of artistic work during a series of actions directed at children, called for a great deal of attention to children's work, and the role of senior actors, both because of their importance and seriousness.
He added: «In all my work has always addressed the child as it is in his society and culture and consciousness, and this is what the children's literature book should pay attention to him to address the new generation of his society by a logical balance between the core values and the surrounding technological options such as sophisticated drowning in And there should be institutions looking for, promoting and discovering artistic talent to play a role in providing rich art in the future. " "All the human arts are interconnected, I learned from classical music a lot of options that allowed me to develop my work," he said. He called on creators in the field of music and composition to "take care of what they offer children. They have something unique. They want". For her part, the artist Haifa Hussein said that we live in a state of lack of support for the work directed at children, noting that the technological manifestations that are widespread these days play an important role in the exclusion of young people from cinema and theater and noble art, calling to double production of children, and address what he wants He understands it. "In Sharjah we see the support of art directed at children and the leadership of His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Member of the Supreme Council and Ruler of Sharjah, from mobility aimed at attention to the art and art of the child. "The Sharjah Children's Reading Festival is one of the most important platforms in the Arab world that is concerned with the formation of new generations on the word, the book and the knowledge. This makes us look forward to a bright future for new generations."
