Saudi Arabia to debut at Triennale Milano's International Exhibition with Al-Ahsa pavilion
DAMMAM: Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Culture has announced the Kingdom's inaugural participation at the 24th International Exhibition at the Triennale Milano design museum in Italy later this year, with a pavilion dedicated to the agricultural oasis of Al-Ahsa. For the latest updates, follow us on Instagram @ Curated by Lulu Almana and Sara Al-Omran, with Alejandro Stein as creative director, the exhibition is hosted by the Architecture and Design Commission and will be titled 'Maghras: A Farm for Experimentation.' It will run from May 13 - Nov. 9. It will explore the intersection of farming traditions, ecological shifts and cultural memory within a rapidly transforming landscape. The exhibition draws from research, artistic interventions and community-driven programs cultivated at Maghras, a farm and interdisciplinary space in Al-Ahsa. Al-Ahsa, located in the Eastern Province, has been historically defined by its abundant water sources. It has undergone significant environmental and social transformations, mirroring broader changes in agrarian communities worldwide. The area has been farmed since the third millennium BCE. The pavilion takes the form of a transplanted maghras — a traditional unit of land defined by four palm trees. Through videos, sound installations and participatory programs, the exhibition invites audiences to engage with Al-Ahsa's evolving agricultural ecosystems. In the lead-up to the exhibition, artists, architects, and researchers collaborated with Al-Ahsa's farming communities, gathering firsthand insights into the region's shifting landscape. This knowledge exchange was further explored through performances, film screenings and local workshops examining the deep connections between culture and agriculture.
