Damascus-Sana
Confronting the cultural invasion and confronting Western plans to spread and market the ideas of modern liberalism within our societies in order to separate them from their identity, heritage and the role of art in this. Axes covered in the lecture delivered by the Head of Artists Zuhair Ramadan at the Cultural Center in Abu Rummaneh.
The lecture, which was held within a series of seminars to combat cultural invasion, the Syrian drama is an example in which Ramadan showed that the means followed by the United States and those who support it in the conspiracy against the Arab nation in general, and Syria in particular, occupied the cultural invasion and misleading media the cornerstone of it with the aim of penetrating the peoples of the region with strange ideas that would weaken The forces of confrontation have and push them to coexist with the occupation of their land and the ongoing crimes of the Zionist occupation.
The Artists Syndicate emphasized that the forces of aggression against the region had failed in their attempts to influence the Syrian national unity and coexistence among the social components on this land, which made these forces resort to targeting the Syrian resistance drama, taking advantage of the weakness of some artists' affiliation, so it involved them in international and Arab dramas that included calls for normalization with the enemy. And it promoted ideas unchallenged by every moral or religious officer or guardian.
Ramadan affirmed that the richness and influential diversity provided by the Syrian drama through our dramatic works has had an effective role for decades in defending our rights and calling to resist the enemy in exchange for the leakage of many ideas of normalization into many Arab works by presenting positive examples of the enemy.
While the poet and journalist Muhammad Khaled Al-Khader, who directed the symposium, delivered a poetic text in which he called for confronting all that threatens the homeland culturally, noting the positions taken by artists who refused to compromise the aggression on the region and the war on Syria.
In his intervention, the researcher Bakur Al-Aroub spoke about the need to give art a greater role in expanding awareness, supporting culture, and strengthening national belonging.
As for the writer Omaima Ibrahim, she focused, through her intervention, on the value provided by the Syrian drama, especially before the war, which requires its support and protection in order to play its role.
