The Ministry of Culture has concluded its participation in the sixth edition of Saudi Cup 2025 at the King Abdulaziz Racecourse, showcasing the rich identity of Saudi culture through immersive content that highlights the Kingdom’s deep-rooted cultural heritage, SPA reported.
Inspired by the esteemed status of the purebred Arabian horse in Saudi culture, the ministry adopted an innovative presentation style with a design concept reflecting the horse's speed and movement through abstract elements like fluid lines and repetitive patterns, symbolizing its energy and dominance on the racetrack. Traditional motifs demonstrating Saudi cultural heritage were also incorporated into the designs, adding a refined and luxurious aesthetic.
This marks the fifth consecutive year of collaboration between the Ministry of Culture and the Jockey Club of Saudi Arabia, aiming to amplify the visibility of Saudi cultural identity both locally and globally while promoting Saudi heritage. Additionally, it provides a platform for talented individuals to display their cultural expressions at this global event, highlighting the ministry’s commitment to fostering Saudi contributions to culture and the arts, in line with the strategic objectives of Saudi Vision 2030.

Diriyah Art Futures (DAF) announced on Sunday that its second major exhibition titled Maknana: An Archaeology of New Media Art in the Arab World will run from April 21 to July 19, at DAF in Diriyah, Riyadh.

Bringing together works by more than 40 artists from the MENA region, Maknana features pioneering voices from across the region who have embraced and redefined technology as a medium for creative expression.

Spanning decades and disciplines, from early video art and experimental film to generative systems and expanded media, Maknana offers a rare survey of how Arab artists have engaged with and reimagined the digital landscape on their own terms.

According to a DAF statement, the Arabic term ‘Maknana’, translated as automation, inspires the exhibition’s central inquiry: how Arab artists have navigated, repurposed, and challenged technologies to shape their own creative vocabularies.
The exhibition is structured across four thematic sections: Automation, Autonomy, Ripples, and Glitch, which trace recurring artistic concerns and gestures across different generations, geographies, and technological paradigms.
In tandem with the exhibition, Diriyah Art Futures will present a public program of talks, performances, screenings, and workshops, expanding on the themes of Maknana and offering visitors direct engagement with artists and thought leaders in the field of new media art.
