Mohamed Ayman Elbokhary writes: Neveen Al-Kilany .. A journey from the world of literature to the heart of Egyptian culture

At the heart of Egyptian cultural life, a remarkable figure emerges with a clear impact and an indelible imprint; it is Dr. Neveen Al-Kilany, the university academic who climbed the ladder of success to become Minister of Culture in Egypt.

Al-Kilany is characterized by intellectual depth and cultural vision that reflects years of giving and studying in the field of literature and arts.

Al-Kilany was not just a traditional lecturer, but an inspiration to her students, always pushing them towards innovation and critical thinking. Her journey from the classroom to the corridors of the ministry was an extraordinary shift that highlights the potential of the Egyptian mind and its ability to influence society.

The successful management is considered an art and her effective management of the cultural scene in Egypt has a clear and tangible imprint, as it works hard to stimulate cultural innovation and support Egyptian artists. Through her diverse cultural programs and art exhibitions, Neveen seeks to create a space for free expression and authentic creativity, and her cultural impact and achievements are represented in many examples on the ground, such as increasing the number of cultural festivals by up to 50 percent during her tenure, more than 30 museums and libraries were modernized and expanded in Egypt, which led to an increase in annual visits by 70 percent, in addition to youth support programs, which were allocated a budget to support youth initiatives in arts and literature by EGP 20 million, which contributed to financing more than 200 youth projects in one year.

In light of these continuous efforts for development, ideas and proposals emerge that may contribute effectively under the leadership of Minister Neveen Al-Kilany which we hope to put into consideration, that may enrich the future of culture in Egypt, such as activating artificial intelligence in culture and benefiting from it to develop unique cultural experiences, such as reviving historical figures and major events in the form of interactive or educational presentations.

This may contribute to adding an element of creativity and renewal to the Egyptian cultural scene, and reflects the dynamic spirit of Egypt in the twenty-first century, especially under that leadership, which has proven to be a symbol of women leaders who can make a real difference in the cultural fabric of their country and who will leave a profound impact on the history of Egyptian culture.
