Ministry of Culture Partners With TikTok to Promote Saudi Heritage
The Ministry of Culture has announced a new strategic partnership with TikTok to elevate Saudi Arabia's creative industries on a global scale. The collaboration will focus on highlighting Saudi cultural talent, preserving national heritage, and expanding digital engagement with local arts across music, film, fashion, and traditional crafts.
The initiative will launch a series of campaigns and creative challenges in coordination with Saudi content creators, cultural institutions, and emerging artists. TikTok's short-form video format will be used to amplify cultural expression and reach a global audience. The platform will also support capacity-building programmes, workshops, and awareness campaigns designed to train and empower creatives across the Kingdom.
This move builds on previous digital collaborations, including the successful 'It All Begins With Us' campaign launched in 2021. The current partnership seeks to deepen these efforts by offering Saudi creators new avenues to connect with audiences while maintaining an emphasis on national identity and cultural integrity.

"The X-Files" Composer Mark Snow Passes Away at 78
Yara Sameh Mark Snow, the Emmy-nominated composer behind the beloved "X-Files" theme song, has passed away. He was 78. Snow died Friday at his home in Connecticut. Sean Callery, a fellow composer and friend of Snow's, announced his death on Facebook. 'Mark Snow, and one of the most wonderful and talented people I've ever known, has passed away,' he wrote in the Friday post. '33 years ago he began mentoring me as an artist. Who knew that I was also at the beginning of a deep friendship that would only grow and evolve over 3 decades along with our graying hair and tighter deadlines.' Callery added: 'I am so grateful to him for his sage counsel and his laugh-out-loud biting wit. My career got started by an act of generosity on his part 33 years ago – period, full stop. I love you my friend. There will never ever be another like you. I send love to Glynnis and all his children and grandchildren during this time.' Snow notably composed the iconic opening theme for "The X-Files". He worked on the series during its full time on-air from 1993 until its end in 2018. Aside from the theme song, he worked on the rest of the show's music, earning six Emmy nominations throughout his X-Files tenure. Snow, too, served as the composer of the franchise's 1998 film, "The X Files". A 15-time Emmy-nominated composer, Snow lent his talents to a slew of shows, including "Blue Bloods," "Smallville," "One Tree Hill," "Children of the Dust," and "Ghost Whisperer", among others. His work has also appeared across film, including features in "The New Mutants," "Ernest Saves Christmas," and "Crazy in Alabama". Snow also frequently worked on TV movies. Some of his past credits include "The Boy in the Plastic Bubble", one of his first projects he worked on in 1976 that starred John Travolta, "Overboard," "Casino," "Angel City," "Malibu," "California Girls," "The Lost Capone," "An American Story," "A Stranger in Town," "Trial by Fire," "The Perfect Mother," "Paradise," and "Strange Calls." read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean
