‘Minha and Fiha’ : Viewing the Kingdom from an artistic lens

Shahd Alhamdan JEDDAH - “Minha and Fiha” is a group exhibition at Tasami Creative lab and art gallery, Serafi Mega Mall, that was launched on Feb. 2 as part of the 4th edition of the 21,39 art event, a non-profit initiative focused on Jeddah’s art and gallery scene. The exhibition uses artistic pieces to depict the religious, cultural, and social aspects of the Kingdom. According to the co-founder and manager of Tasami, Musaed Alhulis, around 35 male and female artists are participating in the exhibition and their works include photography, sculptures, paintings, and other art pieces. Visitors can browse more than 50 artworks in the exhibition and view the Kingdom through a unique and artist lens. “With art, people can discuss several social topics and issues as art is a way that artists can deliver visual messages to their audiences,” said Alhulis. “The exhibition will continue until the end of February and every year we invite artists to participate. Most of the time we prefer to pick up-and-coming artists to be part of our exhibitions so they get a chance to communicate with other artists and benefit from the event,” he added. Several drawing and visual art workshops will be held during the exhibition.
