This visual expression reflects Katara’s mission to foster cultural dialogue, encourage arts, and embrace the experiences of different peoples.

The exhibition is part of Katara’s efforts to celebrate cultural diversity and its role in building bridges of communication through the arts.

It also serves as a celebration of Mozambique’s Independence Day, reflecting Katara’s commitment to providing creative platforms for artists from around the world.

The General Manager also unveiled a vibrant mural titled “Touches of Culture: A Celebration of Unity.” This artwork adorns Building 43, measuring 7 meters wide and 3 meters high.

The mural is a visual embodiment that reflects Katara’s unique architectural character and distinctive aesthetics.

In the mural, artist Coana blended symbolic and abstract elements, incorporating musical instruments, rhythmic patterns, and silhouettes inspired by Qatari architecture.

He used bold colours and captivating details suitable for digital media, encouraging visitors to interact by taking and sharing photos, thereby promoting Katara’s image globally.

The exhibition will continue until July 12, 2025, and is open to visitors from 10am to 10pm in Building 47, Hall 1 at Katara.
