The second G20 Culture Working Group (CWG) meeting is all set to begin in Bhubaneswar on Sunday and as part of it a special thematic sand art will be created on the Puri beach, officials said.
The CWG under India's G20 presidency will highlight 'Culture Unites All' in a campaign mode to bring out India's unwavering belief in multilateralism based on peaceful coexistence among diverse cultures and communities, the Culture Ministry said.
The four key priority areas of the meeting are the protection and restitution of cultural property, harnessing living heritage for a sustainable future, promotion of cultural and creative industries and creative economy, and leveraging digital technologies for the protection and promotion of culture.
The meeting will be attended by delegates from G20 members, guest nations, and several international organisations. It offers an opportunity to discuss pressing issues facing the culture sector to further deliberate in-depth work towards tangible, action-oriented recommendations, the ministry said in a statement.
The second CWG meeting will build on the momentum gained from the first one held in Khajuraho, Madhya Pradesh, which was followed by in-depth expert-driven global thematic webinars held over the past two months.
On May 14, an exquisite sand art exhibit will be made by Padma Shri awardee Sudarsan Pattnaik at Puri Beach.
The theme for the exhibit is 'Culture Unites All', which will be inaugurated by the Union Minister for Culture, Tourism and DoNER, G Kishan Reddy and Minister of State for Culture and Parliamentary Affairs Arjun Ram Meghwal, officials said.

Sumit Nagal attained the 77th place in ATP rankings. As per the established criteria, the top 56 players, both in men’s and women’s rankings, will attain automatic qualification for the Olympics but no more than four per country can make the cut for the Games, a rule which allows lower ranked players to sneak into the draw.
