The concept of Islamic art has been debated since it was introduced by Western art historians. The launch of the Islamic Arts Biennale in Saudi Arabia seeks to address this by presenting a diverse and contemporary understanding of Islamic art. The biennale aims to transcend historical misconceptions by showcasing the complex and evolving nature of Islamic art, both in its historical context and its contemporary forms. Hosted in a symbolic venue, attendees can explore the diverse influences that have shaped Islamic art across time and geography.
Islamic art, an ever-evolving notion, is not confined to a period or place, but rather reflects a rich tapestry of historical and contemporary influences.
The Diriyah Biennale aims to collapse previous misconceptions about Islamic art by showcasing its dynamic and complex nature, embracing both history and modern expressions.
