The Arab Puppet Theatre Foundation has just launched a far-reaching, long-term research project titled

PRESERVING THE HERITAGE OF PUPPETRY ARTS IN THE ARAB WORLD

Puppetry is an ancient and traditional form of theatre and storytelling in the Arab world, one with vast potential for ongoing cultural and societal relevance. Throughout history, puppets have proven to be of great importance in Arab cultures and this practice continues to have a unique role in shaping societies today. The project’s main aim is to preserve the history of puppetry through a publication available as a research resource both online and in libraries, in addition to keeping a well-preserved digitized collection.
