BIC and RAK Art Foundation Collaborate to Infuse Art into F1 Grand Prix Venue
The Rashid Al Khalifa Art Foundation has partnered with the Bahrain International Circuit (BIC) to transform the walls of the media center tunnel with vibrant graffiti art, unveiled as part of the Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix Formula 1 festivities.
This artistic initiative is part of the Foundation's broader mission to support local artists by providing public-facing spaces that extend the presence of art beyond traditional galleries. By doing so, the Foundation aims to foster deeper engagement between the public and the arts in unexpected, high-traffic environments.
The commissioned mural spans over 60 meters and was brought to life by two of Bahrain's leading graffiti artists — Mahmood Al Sharqawi (known as HUVIL) and Mustafa Al Halwachi. Their work blends Bahraini heritage with elements of contemporary pop culture, creating a dynamic and culturally resonant visual experience for F1 attendees and media personnel.
