On the occasion of National Sport Day, an exhibition titled “Images and Memories” by Qatari artist Sultan Jassim al-Jassim was inaugurated at Katara - the Cultural Village yesterday.
Over 30 photographs that depict the lives of Qatari athletes since the 1960s are displayed in the exhibition, which will continue until the end of this month.
Speaking on the occasion, al-Jassim said the display of some very rare images from the field of sports in the country is an illustration of an overall renaissance witnessed in all fields.
“Similar images that go back to the 1960s indicate the great importance the people of Qatar had always given to sports. The history of sports in the State of Qatar and the accomplished progress in this field are vividly depicted in this exhibition.”
Al-Jassim also organises the exhibition in other GCC countries in a bid to promote Qatari sports.
Katara deputy general manager for operations Ahmad al-Sayed was present at the opening of the exhibition.
