Earlier this year, the Museum of Islamic Art and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs invited ten Qatari artists to embark on a special educational trip to two major cities in Spain – Granada and Cordoba – in a programme called Ektashif Al-Andalus (Discover Andalusia). The resulting exhibition of works by these artists, on view in the MIA Atrium, is an enlightening presentation that highlights the rich heritage of Andalusian arts and architecture, delving into the intricate tapestry of Islamic influences that is interwoven within these urban landscapes.
The works on view serve as a vibrant reflection of the artists’ experiences and insights gained during this remarkable journey.
