United Arab Emirate – Sharjah: The 19th Edition of the Sharjah International Narrator Forum (SINF) will kick start this Tuesday, September 24 and will continue until Thursday, September 26 at the emirate’s Expo Centre. The event will be presented and sponsored by HH Sheikh Dr Sultan Bin Muhammad Al-Qassimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah.
To be held under the theme ‘1001 Nights,’ the forum aims to shed light on the vibrant Arab heritage, by revisiting the charm of Arabian Nights- a famous collection of Persian, Arabian and Indian folktales. These tales have been passed down from generations and are known to have impressed the world and served as an inspiration to various cultures that have produced literary masterpieces drawing ideas from the concept.
Around 97 experts, researchers, storytellers and media from 43 countries are expected to be part of this year’s forum. The Republic of Italy will be this year’s guest of honor, with the city of Sardinia representing the country’s vast culture and heritage.
HE Dr Abdulaziz Almusallam, Chairman of the Sharjah Institute of Heritage (SIH) said, “Each year the forum is held to highlight the fascinating journey of narrators and storytellers who have brought to us some of the most cherished and loved narratives. Through the various workshops and exhibitions participants can get a better insight into the Arabian Heritage and probably learn about new and exciting aspects they knew little about.”
Over the course of the three day event, attendees can indulge in a variety of cultural programs, training workshops and public events including proactive workshops- on the writing of a story (a night) inspired by Arabian Nights, and a workshop on the UAE cultural heritage- the second edition of the inspiring vision on the most important narration sources and influences.
Workshops will be held to resonate with the theme of “1001 Nights,” and will feature The Shining Light, The Magic Crystal, Princess Jasmin Jewells, Hoods of Shahrazad and Shahrayar, The Masks, The Feather, The Grand Book, Paper Folding, Artistic Dolls and Theater of Puppets.
