As part of the Art Bahrain Across Borders initiative, the Grand Palais will welcome the first edition of Bahrain Art Week Paris, showcasing a selection of 17 of the most important established and emerging artists from a country that has enjoyed a long history of peaceful coexistence among nations and religions.
Characterized by bold impressionistic abstracts, the works selected for Bahrain Art Week - centered around the theme of "The Legacy and the Contemporary Memory" - speak to how Bahraini artists visualize the country's 5,000-year-old heritage of art and culture, and transform it into a 21st-century narrative.
Bahrain Art Week is produced under the patronage of Her Royal Highness Princess Sabeekha bint Ebrahim Al Khalifa, Wife of the King of Bahrain and President of the Supreme Council for Women.
Bahrain Art Week is organized in Paris by Corinne Timsit Art Advisory (CT2A) and by Art Select, Bahrain, and is curated by Corinne Timsit and Kaneka Subberwal.
