In Show Of Faith, Athr Gallery and Katara Cultural Village question how the proximity of Mecca – has affected the worldview of the artists who have grown up in the area, including Ibrahim Abumsmar, Ayman Yossri Daydban, Nasser Alsalem, Musaed Al-Hulis, Noor Alissa, Dana Awartani, Noha Alsharif, Basmah Felemban and Dana Awartani.
Show Of Faith a major, multi-media group exhibition featuring Saudi Arabian artists.
Taking its cue from the current Ramadan season, a time of contemplation and spiritual regeneration for Muslims worldwide, Show Of Faith offers perspectives, insights and reflections on the essence of faith, both within the precepts and traditions of Islam, and beyond, as a universal source of sanctuary and solace.
Discussing themes ranging from ritual, tradition and history to the contemporary manifestations of faith and devotion, Show of Faith presents a broad spectrum of artistic styles and forms, that draw heavily on the geometrical abstractions of traditional Islamic art, blending smoothly with the present-day approaches and techniques.
