Cultural Diplomacy Spotlight: PM Modi used his Sweden visit to spotlight Indian diaspora culture, posting praise for Bengali performances, Bharatanatyam students from Lilla Akademien, and an Indo-Swedish musical presentation—plus a Swedish opera rendition of “Vaishnava Jana To.” Arts & Heritage in Motion: Abu Dhabi museums saw a surge of visitors during free-entry International Museum Day programming, with tours, workshops, and live performances bringing UAE history and natural history to the same stage. Reading Culture Push: Oman’s Sultan Qaboos Higher Centre for Culture and Science launched the 15th ‘Iqra’ Reading Contest, aiming to build skills in reading and summarising. Local Identity, Global Reach: Beijing opened the China New Cultural Creative Carnival and Trendy Toy Carnival, blending traditional aesthetics with modern trends for a 10-day showcase. Music in the Archive: The National Recording Registry plans to add 2026 music from Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, The Go-Go’s, Vince Gill, Weezer, and Reba McEntire.
