According to Dr Bounaama, during his statements to “Sharjah 24,” the exhibition includes important and valuable information that highlights the levels of transformation from the oral performance of storytellers and bearers of heritage and their popular knowledge and its richness and diversity, to digital media and its contemporary role as contemporary tools in protecting heritage.

He pointed out that the exhibition has two wings. The first discusses living memory, which is human memory and what it holds in terms of knowledge and information that storytellers kept in their hearts before it became written text. This is valuable information that reflects the depth of Arab and international oral traditions and highlights human interest in oral storytelling and how it transitioned to writing.

Dr Bounaama pointed out that the second wing focuses on digital transformation and digital media, and the rapid shifts that these media have witnessed, starting from augmented reality and virtual reality technologies and ending with artificial intelligence and the important tools and programs it provides that can be used to protect and preserve heritage after putting in place the legislative and institutional framework for its protection.
