Tourism Minister Explores Islamic Arts Biennale 2025 in Jeddah
Ahmed Al-Khateeb, Saudi Arabia's Minister of Tourism, recently visited the Islamic Arts Biennale 2025, an event themed 'And All That Is in Between.' Organized by the Diriyah Biennale Foundation, the exhibition is hosted at the Western Hajj Terminal within King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah and will run until May 25. During his visit on Tuesday evening, Al-Khateeb immersed himself in the diverse array of artistic and historical works on display. The biennale features over 500 artifacts and contemporary pieces, celebrating the rich legacy of Islamic arts and cultures while underscoring Saudi Arabia's growing prominence as a global hub for culture and creativity. The minister gained insights into the biennale's seven distinctive artistic components— Al Bidayah, Al Madar, Al Muqtani, Al Midhallah, Al Mukarramah, Al Munawwarah, and Al Musalla —which seamlessly integrate ancient archaeological treasures with modern artistic expressions. As he toured the exhibition halls, Al-Khateeb admired a wide range of loaned works, including historical artifacts, Islamic collectibles, and contemporary masterpieces. The biennale also showcases contributions from renowned international institutions such as the Louvre Museum in Paris and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, further enriching the cultural experience. The event's design offers visitors a unique visual and intellectual journey through the evolution of Islamic art and heritage.

‘AlMidhallah' Artistic Space Reimagines Islamic Garden at Islamic Arts Biennale
The second edition of the Islamic Arts Biennale, themed 'And All That Is in Between,' continues to captivate art and culture enthusiasts at the Western Hajj Terminal of King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah. Within this immersive experience, AlMidhallah (The Canopy) offers a creative interpretation of gardens in Islamic civilization. Set outdoors beneath pointed canopies reminiscent of traditional Arab tents, the space seamlessly blends contemporary art with the architectural heritage of the Islamic world. Featuring approximately 20 commissioned works curated by the Diriyah Biennale Foundation, AlMidhallah serves as a dynamic intersection of tradition and modernity. Drawing inspiration from the charbagh , the classical Islamic garden divided into four sections by water channels, the artworks are arranged into thematic quadrants. Moreover, these quadrants guide visitors through a journey from individual introspection to collective experience, fostering reflection, learning, contemplation, and social engagement. More than just an art exhibition, AlMidhallah explores the intersection of art and nature, prompting dialogue on contemporary environmental and social issues. Through its artistic lens, the space invites visitors to reflect on the intricate relationship between humanity and its surrounding environment.
