Baghdad, 04 January 2013 ( Al Shorfa )
By Khalid Al-taie<
br />
The Iraqi Ministry of Culture plans to organise a series of acti
vities and festivals this year marking Baghdad as the 2013 Capital of Arab
Culture, officials told Mawtani.
Ministry undersecretary Fawzi a
l-Atroushi said the planned celebrations include a number of cultural activ
ities throughout the year, including folklore festivals and exhibits for Ir
aqi art and rare manuscripts.
Other institutions like government
al and civil society groups and unions will also participate alongside the
ministry in sponsoring weekly and monthly events, which include symposiums,
conferences, and literary, intellectual and art functions that represent I
raq's various cultures, he added.
Scheduled ministry program
mes also involve showing documentaries and long and short feature films, as
well as theatrical performances on Iraqi life complete with traditions, cu
stoms and rituals, al-Atroushi said.
As part of the celebrations
, the ministry will also organise a series of field trips for visiting dele
gations to various historical sites and landmarks around Baghdad, such as m
onuments, statues, squares, old markets and streets, and archaeological and
heritage landmarks and sites, he said.
In addition, dignitaries
and other guests will receive a number of books and works on Baghdad's
history, heritage, landmarks, famous figures and historical contributions
to culture, literature and science, al-Atroushi said.
"Plan
s to build and rehabilitate Baghdad's landmarks are going forward,"
; he told Mawtani. "In collaboration with several supportive agencies,
such as Baghdad province, Amanat Baghdad and the Ministry of Tourism and A
ntiquities, we finished rebuilding several heritage buildings and cultural
sites, in addition to building new monuments, statues and tourist compounds
."
"Also, there are other projects on their way to com
pletion, such as a project to rehabilitate and maintain the ancient Ziggura
t of Aqar Quf, located west of the capital, and others currently under cons
truction, such as the old al-Qushla Clock monument, the Abbasid palace, the
Opera House and others," he said.
Crowning Baghdad
With these preparations, the province aims to crown Baghdad as the 2013
Capital of Arab Culture, said Kamel al-Saadi, Baghdad's deputy governo
r.
Officials will distribute a tourist guide of the capital, as
well as copies of 20 different brochures on Baghdad's various civilisat
ions, to event participants, he said, adding that the Baghdad province is &
quot;organising plays, cultural meetings and popular carnivals".
Prizes will be awarded to Iraqi intellectuals and pioneers, including
youth innovators, he added.
The province will work with diverse
groups "to secure a festive atmosphere commensurate with the distinct
history of Baghdad", al-Saadi said.
The province also comp
leted a project rehabilitating the Baghdad International Fairground, "
considered one of the prominent landmarks of the capital", at a cost o
f 70 billion dinars ($60 million), he said.
It also built the Ba
ghdad Cultural Centre and restored many heritage and cultural buildings and
sites, in addition to organising "permanent exhibits, the last of whi
ch displays the personal belongings of the Iraqi royal family during 1921-1
958", he added.
Reflecting the capital's grandeur
Ali al-Shallah, chairman of the parliamentary committee on culture and medi
a, said his committee is in constant contact with all concerned parties to
ensure the festivities are a success.
"We asked them to ens
ure that the celebrations will be of an acceptable level that befits the ci
vilisation and grandeur of the city of Baghdad, reflecting its historical d
epth, existence and role throughout the ages," he said.
&qu
ot;We must showcase the cultural aspect of our capital, and organise these
activities within [the city's] heritage and archaeological sites, becau
se Baghdad was -- and still is -- a cultural and intellectual cradle, and i
t is essential to project its status as a city of exceptional human accompl
ishments in all life fields," he said.
Al-Shallah told Mawt
ani he is confident the activities will be a success.
In 2012, t
he city hosted numerous successful Arab and international conferences, he s
aid.
"We are fully confident that the organisation of this
new forum will be successful, and it will have large-scale participation,&q
uot; he said.
