ABU DHABI, 24th May, 2021 (WAM) -- The global pandemic has encouraged people to use creativity to overcome the crisis, according to a renowned British television presenter, historian and writer.

In an interview with Emirates News Agency (WAM), Bettany Hughes said, "It is fascinating that as soon as the pandemic hit, people started to share poetry, book recommendations, and creative art on social media, so we could understand that we need to use creativity in a crisis and also that we can create our way out of the crisis!"

She added, "Actually, this incredible global event proved to me that more than anything else, how central arts is to our understanding of the world, and that art allows us not just to survive, but to thrive in the world."
