ART OF MISK ART INSTITUTE'S US TOUR

Bringing together contemporary and traditional art from the kingdom, the exhibition expressed Saudi Arabia's rich heritage and grassroots energy.

The exhibition featured 33 Saudi artists from across the Kingdom with over 20 major works.

AL-QATT AL-ASSIRI MURALS

The exhibition featured an installation of two murals made by women artists from Saudi Arabia’s Southern region of Asir. The murals express a long relationship between people and their natural environment, showing complex scenes that narrate the stories of their family, culture, environment, rituals and agriculture.

In 2017, Al-Qatt Al-Asiri, was inscribed in the UNESCO list of Intangible Cultural Heritage.
