Ektashif: Morocco Exhibition

The result of an educational programme run by the Museum of Islamic Art, the Ektashif: Morocco Exhibition will showcase artworks by a select group of Qatari artists who travelled to Morocco to acquire new skills in traditional and Islamic arts, experiencing the lasting influence of Islamic civilisation worldwide.

This year, as part of the Qatar-Morocco 2024 Year of Culture, these artists explored Islamic architecture and participated in art workshops led by expert craftsmen to learn traditional arts.
