Legacy of Dedication: The Inaugural Dhikhr ذخر Award Honoring David Heard and Frauke Heard-Bey 

Join us for the inaugural ذخر (Dhikhr) Award presentation, inspired by the vision of the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, who said, "The book is the vessel of knowledge, civilization, culture, learning, literature, and the arts. Nations are not measured by their material wealth alone, but by their civilizational authenticity." The word Dhikhr means "treasure" in Arabic, symbolizing this award's purpose: to honor those who have enriched the UAE's heritage.

This year, we recognize the late David Heard and Frauke Heard-Bey for their invaluable contributions. The ceremony will feature a brief talk on their legacy, followed by the award presentation. We are honored to have His Excellency Zaki Nusseibeh join the conversation, enriching our understanding of their remarkable contributions to the UAE's cultural landscape.
