Al-Mahras Faces Debate Over Yunqa Festival
The article addresses the decline of the cultural scene in the city of Al-Mahres, despite its significant tourist and historical assets such as the Phoenician archaeological site of Byonqa. For the past two years, the city has experienced a near-total absence of artistic performances and major events, except for the Al-Mahres International Arts Festival, which relies on funding. The announcement of a Phoenician-themed event as part of a Mediterranean Arts Festival sparked controversy, especially after the "Mask" Cultural Center clarified that it was not associated with the initiative. The center emphasized that the event lacked prior planning and support, and noted that some initiatives are old and repetitive. It stressed the importance of sustainable coordination work, away from haphazard initiatives, and rejected spontaneous interventions that damage the local cultural landscape.
