Why the Middle East, Why ARTDOM in Riyadh?

Why the Middle East, Why ARTDOM in Riyadh? Background & Education Having demonstrated a natural flair for aesthetics and creativity at a young age, Daria obtained a degree in Cultural Studies and Design before embarking on her professional career producing cultural and fashion events where she favoured the path of independence and creative freedom. As her passion for creating projects that combine beauty, storytelling and emotional resonance evolved, so did her area of expertise, which eventually led her to the field of furniture and interior design During the global pandemic, Daria founded ARTDOM, a platform and forum concept dedicated to collectible furniture, interiors and contemporary design, uniting leading international brands and designers with a discerning audience. The project includes design tours, special events, and strategic collaborations, with representatives in Italy, Dubai, Brazil, and Kazakhstan. KSA, 18 august 2025 – Over the years, ARTDOM has welcomed over 120,000 guests and featured more than 1,200 brands, with 50% of exhibitors being international. A significant portion, around 80%, are Italian brands, highlighting strong ties to Europe's design heritage. Design Philosophy Daria's love for design began in early childhood. She has a deep intuitive sense of aesthetics, what she calls her 'internal beauty filter.' From textures and silhouettes to architectural harmony, she finds beauty in detail and balance. Her inspiration comes from a mix of global influences: she draws from European elegance, especially Italian architecture and the structured beauty of Haussmann-era Paris, while also appreciating the boldness and scale of contemporary cities like Dubai. While she doesn't align with any specific national school of design, her style is defined by emotional resonance and timeless harmony, rather than geography. Why the Middle East, Why ARTDOM in Riyadh? Daria sees the Middle East, and Saudi Arabia in particular, as entering a new era of creative renaissance. Riyadh is rapidly emerging as a global design capital, making it the ideal stage for ARTDOM. Her vision is to integrate international design expertise with regional culture, history, and values, creating a dialogue that enriches both sides. Deeply interested in Eastern culture since her university years, Daria views ARTDOM as a cultural institution rather than just an exhibition, working with governments, museums, educational institutions, and patrons to advance the industry and foster cultural exchange. Business Vision for the Region The Middle East is a unique combination of economic ambition and cultural awakening. My goal is to position ARTDOM as a bridge between global design leaders and the regional creative community. We're creating a platform where international expertise meets local values and together, they generate ideas that shape the future of design in this part of the world. 'The Middle East is a unique combination of economic ambition and cultural awakening. My goal is to position ARTDOM as a bridge between global design leaders and the regional creative community. Together, we can create ideas and projects that shape the future of design while respecting cultural heritage.' Looking Ahead: 5-Year Vision in Saudi Arabia Daria envisions ARTDOM as a sustainable creative ecosystem for designers, architects, premium brands, and clients. In the next five years, the platform aims to: ? Build strong partnerships with both public and private sectors ? Actively participate in key cultural and business events ? Develop signature projects that become benchmarks in the region The focus is on cultural development, long-term business relationships, and international cooperation.

Saudi Film Commission opens submissions for Kingdom's first-ever Oscar entry

The process was previously handled through direct nominations by the commission based on its own criteria. The Saudi Film Commission has announced an open call for local filmmakers to submit their works for consideration as the Kingdom's official entry to the 98th Academy Awards in the International Feature Film category, marking a historic first for Saudi cinema. Until now, the process was handled through direct nominations made by the commission based on internal criteria. In a shift towards greater inclusivity and transparency, the commission has outlined the rules and procedures for this year's selection, including the formation of a nomination committee, eligibility guidelines and submission requirements. To qualify, films must have had their first theatrical release in Saudi Arabia between October 1, 2024, and September 30, 2025, with a commercial run of at least one week. The newly established nomination committee will consist of independent industry professionals and experts who will assess eligible works under Academy guidelines to ensure fairness and impartiality before casting their votes. The initiative aims to boost Saudi Arabia's global cinematic presence and strengthen its position within the international film industry. In parallel with this milestone, the commission is also participating in the Locarno Film Festival, running from August 6 to 16, 2025, in Switzerland. Renowned for its focus on experimental and arthouse cinema as well as debut works from emerging directors, Locarno provides a platform for Saudi filmmakers to connect with European and global audiences.
