Following the success of last year’s Shared Glass Exhibition, Katara, the Cultural Village proudly presents Constantin Boym: Learning from Mabkhara. The exhibition will open at 7:00pm on Thursday 8th November at Katara Gallery, Gallery 2, building 13 and will run until the 1st December 2012. Featuring unique and exquisite shapes and designs, Mabkhara is a traditional Arab incense burner, an authentic object typically used as daily domestic activities in the Arab world. Incense burners serve as representations of sensorial culture of the East, much celebrated in the world of literature and arts of the last two centuries. The exhibition will present the new objects alongside their traditional prototypes from the region, to illustrate the process of “learning” and to better highlight the dialectic between continuity and innovation.
