Eltiqa is an annual event designed to strengthen cultural exchange between Saudi Arabia and other nations by hosting a country each year to showcase the common elements of traditional arts.
The second edition of the event builds on the success of the first one, featuring South Korea in 2023. It underscores Wrth’s commitment to fostering an international cultural dialogue.
In the light of this, CONEXÃO 2025 features 10 Saudi and Brazilian traditional performances that conclude with a show combining elements of traditional art from both countries. It also includes an artwork co-created by two artists from Saudi Arabia and Brazil.
Moreover, the event involves more than 15 interactive experiences, including workshops and activities designed to introduce performing and visual arts, with the aim of deepening cultural understanding and enhancing communication between both cultures.
The Eltiqa event is one of Wrth‘s initiatives that aim to encourage international cultural exchange in Saudi Arabia, in line with the objectives of Vision 2030, through fostering new cultural platforms to raise awareness of traditional arts and support their preservation and promotion both locally and internationally.
