Enjoy a cup of some Arabian coffee; the month-long "Coffee for Two - Cultures in Dialogue" event is taking place at the Katara Cultural Village's Building 47, Gallery 1. Arabic coffee, known as qahwa, is featured in the exhibition as a sign of charity and an intangible cultural legacy.
Objects are shown in the exhibit along with 50 photographs, videos, and quizzes. It investigates the social roles that locally roasted Arabic coffee plays in regional cultural practices.
It also explores the development of the well-known beverage, tracing its movement from the wealthy estates of Latin America, where it finally rose to popularity in the 17th century, to the Arabian Peninsula and Egypt, where it was initially cultivated. It also highlights the evolution of coffee and how it has been modified for contemporary use.
Up to September 21st, "Coffee for Two - Cultures in Dialogue" will be available.
