At the invitation of artists and organizer of the exhibition, Dr. Hossam Badrawi attends the inauguration of Ostraka International Festival of Arts entitled “Shams Misr “Sun of Egypt”” in Sharm El-Sheikh. He attends it honor as a public figure representing enlightenment, openness of mind and love of art and beauty in society. The festival has more than 120 artists from 27 countries including Germany, Ukraine, Korea, Turkey, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Italy, Iran, Qatar, Kuwait, France, Tunisia and other countries of the world. The artists met for two weeks in Sharm el-Sheikh. They were drawing, sculpting and singing under the beautiful sun of Egypt at the invitation of the festival management which received no support at all from the state, although such gathering is more influential and profound than any advertising for tourism and culture in Egypt.
Artists gathered around Dr. Badrawi who decided to support the festival. Artist Mohamed Hamida is the one who managed to gather all these people for the nineteenth time, and chose Sharm el-Sheikh to be the starting point of the festival.
Greetings to those who express their love for Egypt practically.
The role of art in returning Egypt as a tourist destination is respected.
The art that transcends political differences and brings people together on our land is a matter of admiration.
This is the beautiful Egypt, wishing the state would be more supportive of this great effort.
