RIYADH: An art exhibition in Venice is helping to introduce international audiences to the creative spirit behind the upcoming Noor Riyadh, the world’s largest festival dedicated to light art.
Held under the theme “In the Blink of an Eye,” the exhibition is organized in collaboration with Italy’s Fondazione Querini Stampalia, and is running at the venue in Venice until Nov. 23.
It reflects Riyadh’s rapid cultural transformation and underscores the capital’s growing role as a regional and global arts hub, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Sunday.
Curated by Mami Kataoka, with Sarah Al-Mutlaq and Li Zhenhua, the exhibition presents a unified artistic vision exploring human experience, transformation, and light, bridging Riyadh and Venice through a shared visual and emotional language.
The exhibition features works by four artists whose pieces will also appear at the Noor Riyadh festival in Saudi Arabia from Nov. 20 to Dec. 6.
