Bahrain National Theater Hosts, Book Launch “Khadija” by Khalid Al-Ruwaie and an art exhibition
The Bahrain National Theater hosted, on 13 March 2022, a book launch ceremony, “Khadija" by Khaled Al-Ruwaie, in the presence of H.E Shaikha Hala bint Mohammed Al Khalifa, Director General of Culture and Arts at the Bahrain Authority for Culture and Antiquities, and a number of cultural figures, interested parties and media professionals.
Indeed, this long literary text delves into Khadija bint Khuwayled, and how she saw the Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) from his birth to prophecy, and ultimately her death, discussing how she was waiting for him and her feelings towards him. This text mixes historical events with contemporary poetic, artistic, and human vision, exploring how she saw the Prophet (PBUH), and how she made his way and embraced him. As part of the event, Khaled Al-Ruwaie presented artistic readings from the book.
On the sidelines of the inauguration and signing of the book, a three-day exhibition highlighting the part of historical miniatures and modern art forms, an exhibition was opened at the National Theater, which will continue until March 16. The book and the exhibition include a new adaptation of the art of historical miniatures, and modern artistic forms of lines and formations that go along with the poetic text. The exhibition also reflects the use of many materials for more than thirty artworks that were created using various techniques of models, drawing and handicrafts.
