Latifa bint Mohammed inaugurates ISEA2026

 Her Highness Sheikha Latifa bint Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Chairperson of Dubai Culture and Arts Authority, inaugurated the 31st International Symposium on Electronic/Emerging Art (ISEA2026 Dubai), held under the theme ‘ELYAH: Constellating Place, Data, and Identity.’ Bringing together artists, researchers and innovators from around the world, the symposium, in its largest-ever edition, explores how art, science and technology can expand creative expression, deepen cultural understanding, and shape the future of electronic and emerging art.

Her Highness marked the inauguration by launching the interactive ELYAH show at ARTE MUSEUM Dubai. Inspired by Dubai’s celestial heritage, the experience combined light, music, performance and digital technology to explore the relationship between people, place and identity. By stepping onto an interactive star, Her Highness activated a visual sequence tracing the story of ELYAH and its historical role as a navigational guide. Coinciding with the symposium’s opening, the façade of Burj Khalifa was illuminated with a projection show that brought the story of ELYAH to life through visual compositions inspired by stars, light and the symposium’s digital identity.

During her tour, Her Highness viewed digital artworks by international artists presented as part of the ELYAH experience. Inspired by nature and the stars, the works offered different perspectives on humanity’s relationship with the universe. She viewed ‘Quantum Memory Fossils – Where Breath Becomes Light’ by Taeyoung Ahn, which explores connections between nature, memory and the future, and ‘Cosmic Balance: A Hybrid Cosmos of Water, Light & Gesture’ by Ina Hur and Serkan Jolboldin, which brings traditional elements into contemporary visual expression. Her Highness also viewed ‘Saving Aesthetics’ by Orkhan Mammadov, which reinterprets traditional patterns and symbols through digital technology.

Dubai Culture’s hosting of ISEA2026 Dubai supports the objectives of its Digital Arts Roadmap by creating opportunities for research, experimentation, innovation, and collaboration among artists, researchers, and cultural, academic, and technology institutions. These efforts strengthen Dubai’s position as a global cultural reference, a leader in innovation, a driver of the creative economy, and rooted in Emirati heritage.

ISEA2026 combines an in-person Artistic Programme featuring 100+ artworks across Dubai with an Online Academic Programme accessible to international audiences, comprising 145 academic papers, 50+ artist and practitioner talks and conversations, 10+ workshops, four special tracks offering 45+ workshops, panel discussions and presentations, seven Eco Labs workshops, and 20+ institutional presentations.

COP31: World Cannot Afford Another Decade of Fossil Fuel Dependence as Climate Crisis Deepens

 ANTALYA, Türkiye - Monday, 09. November 2026 AETOSWire  

350.org calls on governments gathering at UN climate talks in Türkiye to turn promises into action, make polluters pay and deliver a just transition away from fossil fuels

 

(BUSINESS WIRE)--As world leaders prepare to gather in Antalya for COP31, 350.org is warning that the world cannot afford another decade of delay in transitioning away from fossil fuels. The UN climate conference starts amidst the largest fossil fuel crisis in history and people all over the world are facing increasingly devastating climate impacts while fossil fuel companies continue to rank obscene profits.

350.org is calling on the Turkish and Australian COP31 presidencies to build on this momentum and ensure that the summit delivers a credible pathway towards phasing out fossil fuels, backed by time bound milestones, accountability and finance. Governments must agree on concrete steps towards a just and equitable transition away from fossil fuels, accelerate the expansion of renewable energy, deliver the climate finance developing countries urgently need and ensure that those responsible for the crisis pay their fair share.

Efe Baysal, Türkiye Program Manager at 350.org, said:

"Türkiye has a unique opportunity to demonstrate what climate leadership looks like. Hosting COP31 comes with a responsibility to help move the world beyond fossil fuel dependence and towards an energy system that works for people, not polluters. Communities in Türkiye and across the region are already experiencing the consequences of climate change, from extreme heat to water stress and wildfires. We cannot keep treating these impacts as a distant threat. COP31 must deliver real progress towards a just transition away from fossil fuels, with renewable energy, climate resilience and people's livelihoods at its heart."

Fenton Lutunatabua, Pacific and Caribbean Program Manager at 350.org, said:

"For Pacific communities, the climate crisis is not a future scenario being debated in negotiation rooms. It is an immediate threat to our homes, cultures, livelihoods and very existence. Our islands are on the frontline of a crisis we did little to create, while the companies most responsible continue to extract and profit. We need governments to listen to the communities already living with these consequences. COP31 must deliver action, not more delay: a rapid transition away from fossil fuels, meaningful climate finance and a commitment to protect the people and places most at risk."

Rukiya Khamis, East Africa Program Manager at 350.org, said:

"Across East Africa, people are facing the devastating impacts of a climate crisis they did not cause. From prolonged droughts to destructive floods, we are losing homes, livelihoods and access to food and water. Yet the money needed to respond to these impacts remains out of reach for many of the countries and communities most affected. It is fundamentally unjust that those least responsible are being left to carry the greatest costs. COP31 must make climate justice a reality. We can’t wait until COP32 in Ethiopia to fix what needs fixing now. By the time countries arrive in Addis Ababa next year, we should be negotiating deadlines and binding targets, not vague promises full of 'ifs' and 'maybes'."

Muslim World League’s “Minhaj” App Participates in Hajj Conference and Exhibition 2026 in Jeddah

 Jeddah, Saudi Arabia 

The “Minhaj” app, developed by the Muslim World League (MWL), is participating in the sixth edition of the Hajj Conference and Exhibition 2026, which commenced today in Jeddah under the patronage of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud (may Allah protect him). Organized by the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah in cooperation with the Pilgrim Experience Program, one of the programs of Saudi Vision 2030, the event is being held from November 8 to 11 at the Jeddah Superdome under the theme “From Makkah to the World.”

Minhaj’s participation in this international event aims to introduce its integrated Islamic digital ecosystem, launched from Makkah to serve Muslims worldwide. The app offers an experience that brings together knowledge, religious services, and everyday-life services within a trusted digital environment, supported by the institutional authority of the MWL and designed to keep pace with rapid technological advancements and the evolving needs of Muslim communities.

Through its pavilion, located at Booth U36 in Hall 2, Minhaj presents a range of interactive digital experiences that allow visitors to explore the app’s diverse services and capabilities. These include prayer times, knowledge resources, interactive learning, the digital Quran, and virtual communities, alongside other services that integrate knowledge, daily religious practices, and community engagement into a comprehensive digital experience.

Minhaj’s participation holds particular significance given its religious and institutional authority. The app’s concept received the endorsement of the Islamic Fiqh Council of the MWL, with the participation of senior scholars of the Islamic world who are members of the Council. Minhaj presents a digital model that combines knowledge credibility, integrated services, and ease of access, contributing to meeting the religious and knowledge-related needs of Muslims across different languages and geographical locations.

The participation also provides an opportunity to introduce the app to delegations, organizations, and institutions attending from around the world, while showcasing its capabilities in delivering reliable Islamic knowledge through modern digital platforms and strengthening connections among Muslim communities. These efforts align with the MWL’s commitment to expanding the reach of its services and leveraging modern technologies to serve the global Muslim community.
