With the rise of social media, globalization has hit its highest peaks. Nations are losing their identities, becoming melting pot societies instead of mosaics, blending into the trend. Unfortunately, some societies have lost their essence along the way just to go with the flow.
This Saudi National day, we wanted to say a statement, we are who are. We are conservatives. And so we played on the word "Mohafiz" which in Arabic has a meaning: A conservative & someone who preserves.
Bearing in mind that the word "conservative" in KSA is commonly misinterpreted as "extremist", Ithra, being a cultural epicenter, wanted to champion all the makers and thinkers in the Saudi society who preserve their heritage while being at the same time modern by calling them conservatives.
