A Cultural Manifest

A Cultural Manifest

Inspired by the profound insights of Ibn Khaldun, a prominent Arab historian and philosopher, who highlighted the role of culture in the rise and fall of civilizations, my business title, "A Cultural Manifest" embodies a global, unique vision. In his seminal work "Muqaddimah" (Introduction), Ibn Khaldun discusses how cultural practices, arts, and social cohesion contribute to the strength and prosperity of societies. Building on this understanding, "A Cultural Manifest" leverages the perspectives of art and culture to foster intercultural dialogue and achieve sustainable development in every aspect of human life. Whether addressing challenges such as climate change, migration and refugees, poverty and inequity, food security and agriculture, conflict and security, governance and political stability, technological disruptions, the education and skills gap, or global health issues, arts and culture remain fundamental to the enrichment and progress of humanity.
