DOHA: The Cultural Village Foundation (Katara) organised a series of diverse environmental events to promote environmental awareness among various segments of society.
The events, organised by Katara as part of its celebration of World Environment Day, included an exhibition titled “The Story of the Earth in a Stamp,” held in collaboration with the Qatar Society of Engineers. The exhibition showcased the stories of the Earth through postage stamps, which carried valuable environmental messages.
Katara also organised the “A Land That Tells and Eyes That Document” exhibition, which highlighted the aesthetics of the environment through the lenses of a group of photographers whose works represent an invitation to contemplate nature and a message to raise awareness of the importance of protecting the planet and its creatures. This exhibition reflects the importance of the environment and promotes collective responsibility to protect it for a more balanced and cleaner future.
A number of photographers participated in the exhibition, including Jassim Ahmed Al-Buainain, Hamad Khalifa Al-Khulaifi, Mohammed Al-Shaabi, Nasser Aqeel Al-Emadi, Ali Saif Al-Din, Abdullah Al-Muadhin, Abdulqader Allam, Wassim Al-Khader, Faisal Al-Jarkas, Saeed Mohammed Fayrouz, Mohammed Najib Nasr, Abdullah Abdulhamid Al-Muslih, Khalifa Al-Mansouri, Ahmed Al Fadala, and Jassim Al-Maliki.
The photographers took visitors on a contemplative visual journey through their photographs, capturing rare scenes of Qatar’s wildlife, from birds soaring in the sky to vibrant marine creatures in the depths of the water, highlighting the details of nature.
As part of a series of diverse environmental activities, Katara Art Studios hosted a series of workshops for children, including the “Creating Plant Pots” workshop, the “Creating a Luminous Insect” workshop, and the “3D Art from the Marine Environment” workshop, scheduled for next Sunday. The workshops aim to develop children’s environmental awareness and enrich their knowledge, artistic and creative skills, thus strengthening their connection to the environment around them in a fun and interactive way.
