On July 1, 2020 Dr. Foley spoke to Middle East Institute New Delhi about art and cultural and social transformation in Saudi Arabia. During the talk, he focused on his book, Changing Saudi Arabia: Art, Culture, and Society in the Kingdom, and how the artistic movement has transformed the Kingdom. He also linked the arguments in his book about Saudi stand-up comedians to recent developments, including the decision of Unilever and other leading multinationals to re-brand their skin whitening creams in India and Saudi Arabia.
