City of Sciences cancels outdoor concert rentals
The City of Sciences has decided to cancel the use of the outdoor stage "Abi Fahar" for a scheduled artistic concert on August 2nd, following widespread criticism. The backlash was due to the institution's shift from being a scientific and intellectual space to a venue used for parties and commercial events. This decision came in response to a media and elite criticism campaign, which expressed surprise at replacing the institution's scientific role with the promotion of artistic performances, especially after public dissatisfaction with previous concerts, such as the performances by Nawal Zoghbi and Rauf Maher. The city’s management was compelled to revoke the stage booking to preserve its reputation as an educational establishment dedicated to science and culture. It was also noted that the city continues to organize scientific and educational activities, such as summer schools and orientation events. The decision reflects their commitment to protecting their scientific standing and distancing themselves from commercial activities that could damage their image.
