I read on Kuwait Times that officials from the ministry has shutdown the art gallery expo organized by popular Kuwaiti artist Shurooq Amin on the first day of launching, the officials justified the ban by stating that the displayed galleries were indecent.
“Amin said officials focused on two of her 16 works – a painting of a woman in a mini-dress sitting on a man’s lap entitled “My Mistress and Family” and a picture showing three men playing cards and drinking “grape juice” from a bottle which suggested contraband alcohol.”
What’s more interesting is how she reacted with the ban by stating that she’s now more determined than ever and that she would keep on producing art that challenges local perceptions.
I wanted to get myself a new watch so I passed by the watches expo at Kuwait International fair, its a good place to find a watch from many brands under one roof plus there were some good offers.
Where: Kuwait International Fair -Hall#8.
When: 21st March -31th March
I also found that the perfumes expo was also launched so I gave it a quick tour and got some new perfumes.
I paid a little visit to the Mawaheb expo at the Avenues mall and I liked what I saw, there were a variety of young talents (artists, musicians, inventors, photographers, designers..etc) showcasing their creative work.
As I understood this expo is organized by Sabah Al Ahmad Center for Giftedness and Creative (SACGC), this center was created last year, I think, to support gifted individuals.
Some of the talents that I really liked were the painting, computer animation and graphics designing, cartoons and caricature, and the knitting.
The expo will extend for another two days and there are over 20 talents, pay it a visit I promise you won’t regret.
So today we were cordially invited for the opening of the biggest and most awaited expo in Kuwait, Proud to Be Kuwaiti(AKA P2BK) at Kuwait International Fair.
Tomorrow will mark the launch of one of the biggest and most popular expo’s in Kuwait, Proud to Be Kuwait, best known as P2BK. They basically support all Kuwaiti projects, products, and even talents.
This is their 5th year and they have done great job, I visited the exhibition last year and liked what I saw, this year there will be projects from GCC countries.
