'Ambitious Nation,' Riyadh

Held at the Al Kindi center on the Diplomatic Quarter, this National Day celebration featured the performers first on video and then in person. Hard to tell from this, but the audience was mixed, both men and women (unheard of when we lived there, until 2016), which my next picture will show more clearly.

The performers looked to be entirely male still, but certainly they had made big strides towards equality of women's rights in recent years ... nice shot of the National Day celebrations. V

Looks like only men performing but a colourful group. Lots of people taking pictures with their phones.
