His Excellency Zaki Nusseibeh’s address at the Dubai International Symposium

The 20th issue of the International Journal of Intangible Heritage was published in June.

In the context of our partnership with the journal, we have chosen to share with you the transcript of His Excellency Zaki Nusseibeh's address at the International Symposium in November 2024, entitled "Intangible Heritage, Museums and Contexts of Rapid Change, such as the UAE". In this address transcribed for the journal, His Excellency discusses the main themes of the Dubai 2025 General Conference, and in particular that of intangible heritage in the United Arab Emirates.

Registration for the Dubai General Conference is now open! We invite you to take part in this triennial international event and join the discussions on the future of museums.

We hope you enjoy reading this article and the other insightful contributions to Vol. 20 of the International Journal of Intangible Heritage.
