Congratulations. Gaber Asfour, former secretary-general of Egypt's Supreme Council of Culture, won the Creativity Award. I illustrated him with a huge head to symbolise his sharp intellect. However, there is a kindness and amiability about him. With him, I feel assured that culture and arts are in safe hands and are bound to flourish in the Arab world. parent page (15 - 21 November 2007, issue #871) |
