Qatar Reads brings Arabic storytelling to Buenos Aires
Tribune News Network Doha Minister of Culture of Buenos Aires, Gabriela Ricardes and Counsellor at the Ministry of the State of Qatar in Argentina, Ali Al-Binali, officially inaugurated the 'Kalila wa Dimna' exhibition as part of Qatar Reads' participation in the Qatar–Argentina 2025 Year of Culture. Organised by Qatar Reads, a national initiative under Qatar National Library, the exhibition and accompanying cultural session marked a major highlight in this year's cross-cultural programming. The event brought together children, families, educators, and dignitaries to celebrate the power of storytelling and its role in establishing dialogue between cultures. Qatar Reads aims to cultivate a love of reading in Qatar through Nationwide programs and campaigns. It has extended its reach through partnerships with the Years of Culture initiative by promoting reciprocal literary exchange: while Arabic stories are shared abroad, Argentinian tales will be introduced to readers in Qatar later this year. This year's collaboration with the Ministry of Culture of Buenos Aires brings the classical Arabic fables of Kalila wa Dimna to libraries across Argentina in Spanish. Themselves an embodiment of cross-cultural power, the fables, originating in ancient India, translated into Arabic in the 8th century, and passed on through Islamic and European literary traditions, are known for imparting moral lessons through talking animals and cunning plots. The exhibition, on view from August 6 to October 31, features 12 newly commissioned miniature-style paintings by Qatari artist Wadha Al Athba. Created with traditional materials such as indigo, saffron, and gold leaf, the artworks blend the aesthetics of classical Islamic art with contemporary visual storytelling. These twelve artworks were also featured in the Spanish edition of Kalila wa Dimna, published by HBKU Press. As part of the ongoing collaboration, Qatar Reads will be distributing 1,000 reading packages children across Argentina. The opening event at Biblioteca Ricardo Güiraldes included an immersive storytelling and arts workshop with 30 public school students from across Buenos Aires. Children enjoyed readings from the Spanish-language version of Kalila wa Dimna, participated in hands-on creative activities, and received custom-designed reading kits to continue their literary journey at home. Qatar's Ambassador to Chile and Argentina His Excellency Batal Mojab Al-Dosari commented earlier: 'The initiative reminds us that diplomacy can be expressed in many languages, but it is most enduring when written through stories that will resonate for generations and by sharing Qatari literature with Argentinian children, we plant the seeds of empathy and mutual understanding.' Qatar Reads has also made copies of the book available at the National Library of Argentina (Biblioteca Nacional), giving more children and families in Buenos Aires access to this timeless fable. Minister Ricardes echoed this sentiment, noting literature's power to bridge cultures: 'Hosting Qatar Reads in Buenos Aires reaffirms our belief that stories communicate universal values of kindness, courage, and wisdom. These values transcend borders, helping our children build a common cultural language through books.' Fatema Majed Al Malki, Qatar Reads Manager, commented, 'At Qatar Reads, we believe every story shared brings us one step closer to understanding. Today's session in Buenos Aires gives children the opportunity to see themselves in new narratives and to discover the beauty of cultural exchange. A child who reads across cultures grows into an adult who leads with empathy, nurtured by the seeds of curiosity and connection planted through these exchanges.' The illustrated edition of Kalila wa Dimna will be distributed widely to schools and libraries throughout Argentina. This initiative reflects a shared commitment by Qatar and Argentina to building intercultural understanding through literature and the arts. By using storytelling as a form of cultural diplomacy, the programme shows how narrative can transcend borders and help shape a more connected and empathetic global future.

Msheireb Museums unveils wide-ranging summer workshops this month
DOHA Msheireb Museums has announced wide-ranging workshops this August as part of its 2025 Summer Programme. It has successfully engaged young cultural ambassadors throughout July, further establishing its reputation as Qatar's leading heritage education destination whilst building anticipation for August's expanded programming. It further added that the programme's initial success stems to its distinctive approach to cultural preservation, moving beyond traditional display methods to create immersive, participatory experiences that connect the country's heritage with contemporary creative expression. Its mission is to raise awareness, foster a love of reading and discovery, as well as change how people think about urban living and improve their overall quality of life through innovations that encourage social interaction, respect for culture, and greater care for the environment. This month workshops include a digital art session inspired by Qatari architecture, targeting participants aged 10 and above, a clay and storytelling workshop designed for children aged 6 to 12, and a visual storytelling session using collage and drawing, open to participants aged 8 and above. In addition, an inclusive discovery camp will be held, tailored for children and youth with diverse educational needs. "The success of this summer programme demonstrates how strategic partnerships can transform heritage education. By combining DDD's design expertise with Msheireb's cultural vision and the excellence of various stakeholders, we're creating meaningful pathways for young people to engage with Qatar's rich architectural heritage while developing contemporary creative skills," noted Dana Kazic, Director of Doha Design District. For her part, Director of Strategic Engagement at VCUarts Qatar Lejla Niksic highlighted: "This collaboration with Msheireb Museums and Doha Design District reflects a shared commitment to strategic, impact-driven partnerships that advance arts and design education through cultivating a thriving creative ecosystem rooted in innovation, contemporary practice and cultural heritage. The Community Education programme at VCUarts Qatar aims to expand access to meaningful, hands-on learning experiences that empower participants of all ages to engage with art and design in ways that are relevant, inclusive, and future-focused, and this collaborative summer programme was perfectly aligned with this mission". The Museums has so far organized a series of diverse workshops last July, in collaboration with Virginia Commonwealth University School of the Arts in Qatar and the Doha Design District. The programme featured exceptional educational and cultural experiences, including an interior design workshop that explored the traditional architectural principles of Radwani House; a creative patterns session examining the distinctive architectural vocabulary of Msheireb, and an Arabic calligraphy workshop aimed at preserving the classical Diwani script tradition.
