Shaikh Nahyan opens Islamic art exhibition
DUBAI — Shaikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research, inaugurated the Farjam Collection’s latest exhibition, ‘The Story of Islamic Art in 99 Objects’.
Humaid Mohammed Obaid Al Qattami, Minister of Education; Abdul Rahman bin Mohammed Al Owais, Minister of Culture, Youth and Community Development; and Dr Rashid Ahmed bin Fahd, Minister of Environment and Water were also present.
The Farjam Collection launched a captivating exhibition which tells the story of Islamic art from its inception to the dawn of industrialisation.
The exhibition reflects on the essentials of Islamic art and was organised through collaboration between the Farjam Collection and Zayed University.
Shaikh Nahyan, who is also the President of Zayed University, praised the organisation for the exhibition which spans the entire history of Islam. The exhibition includes some of the rarest artistic masterpieces of the Islamic world inspired by the principles and spirit of Islam and reveals the milestones of Islam founded on piety, tolerance and peace.
He stressed that disseminating Islamic cachet would require all concerted efforts to present it through various ways to spread cultural and artistic awareness among all segments and groups of the society, especially younger generations.
He praised the cooperation links between Zayed University and the Farjam Collection and emphasised the importance of supporting communication between educational institutions and national as well as international entities for a cross-cultural exchange of experiences to enhance students’ innovation and creativity. “Being part of this exhibition has made me appreciate Islamic art much more,” said Alia Al Siri, a student from Zayed University.
“Seeing and learning about each individual object has magnified the smallest details and the thoughts that have been put into each object by the creator. It has been an amazing experience to be part of this exhibition. I am so proud and excited to finally have the exhibition open for public, and I can’t wait to hear their feedback and reviews.”
Infused with the principles and spirit of Islam, the 99 objects selected by Zayed University’s art students include manuscripts, elaborate textiles and splendid ceramics and glass wares. The exhibition will run through the end of Ramadan and is supported by the Hafiz Foundation and National Auto Company. —
