Launch of the "Biban Qatar" exhibition Between Art and Literature" in Katara

The "Biban Qatar... Between Art and Literature" by Qatari artist and photographer Farha Al-Kuwari, this evening, in Building 18 of the Cultural Village Foundation "Katara", and it will last for two weeks.

The exhibition, organized by Qatar Photography Center in collaboration with the Qatar Authors Forum, is part of the Forum's recently launched 'Between Art and Literature' initiative as part of its new strategy.

The exhibition offers an artistic experience that combines the photographic image and the literary text, through 42 photographic works centered on the ancient and historical Qatari doors, and their architectural and aesthetic details that reflect the local identity and the specificity of Qatar's urban heritage.

The exhibition is the result of a creative experience by the artist Farha Al-Kuwari, who worked to document this architectural heritage for four years, inspired by the details of the ancient doors, architectural and human aesthetics that transcend the boundaries of time, based on the saying "the image is a trace", which reflects the role of the image in preserving memory and documenting heritage.

The exhibition includes a selection of literary sayings and texts by a group of authors, forming a creative dialogue between visual art and literary expression, where texts give images human and cultural dimensions, and transform the doors from architectural elements into symbols of identity, belonging and national memory.
