In this heartfelt season finale of Hwar AlMadar, we're taken to Jeddah for the closing symposium of the Islamic Arts Biennale and are joined by curator Rizwan Ahmad and assistant curators Sarah Al Abdali and Dr Bilal Badat, who share their exceptional research on the Haramayn, exploring the artistic, historical, and spiritual significance of objects from the Muslim world. They delve into the process of curating these objects, the profound impact they have on viewers, and the diversity and sanctity associated with them. The episode also highlights the intricate Waqf tradition, the soulful journey of female representation in Islamic art, and their personal reflections on this monumental project. This emotional and insightful discussion offers a deeply spiritual lens through which to view the Islamic Arts Biennale and its lasting impact.
