Museum Of The Future Introduces Exclusive Master Class Series Featuring Leading Arab Experts

The Museum of the Future is introducing a unique Master Class series in partnership with Great Arab Minds. This year-long programme will feature lectures by prominent Arab scientists, thinkers, and creators. The series highlights winners of the Great Arab Minds initiative, launched by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. Starting in October, interested individuals can register early due to limited spots.

The programme aims to encourage creativity and intellectual discussions across various fields such as science, technology, literature, and arts. It is designed for professionals, specialists, talented students, and knowledge seekers. Participants will have the opportunity to exchange ideas on topics like natural sciences, engineering, design, economics, and medicine.

As the headquarters of the Great Arab Minds initiative, the Museum of the Future serves as a hub for leading Arab thinkers from diverse disciplines. The Master Class programme underscores the museum’s role in promoting innovation and collaboration. It features winners of the Great Arab Minds Award who have significantly impacted literature, arts, and architecture.

The first three lecturers include Waciny Laredj, an Algerian novelist and professor at the University of Algiers and Sorbonne. His works are translated into over 20 languages. Dia Al-Azzawi, an Iraqi artist known for modern Arab art, has received numerous awards including an honorary doctorate from Coventry University. Sahel Al Hiyari is a Jordanian architect recognised globally for his influence on contemporary architectural movements.

Waciny Laredj will discuss writing challenges during transformations and how literature benefits from technology. Dia Al-Azzawi will focus on contemporary Arab art evolution and Arabic calligraphy as an expressive medium. Sahel Al Hiyari will explore architecture's emotional aspects and sustainable design philosophy.

Saeed Al Nazari, Secretary-General of Great Arab Minds, stated that these Master Classes highlight the impact of Great Arab Minds by inspiring innovation and showcasing how Arab excellence shapes regional futures. Majed Al Mansoori from the Museum of the Future emphasised that this collaboration strengthens Dubai’s role as a global hub for science and arts.
