DHAHRAN: The King Abdulaziz Center for World Culture, known as Ithra, returns with more Saudi-inspired art for the second year at the Concentrico International Festival of Architecture and Design in Spain.

The installation will be open to the public at Plaza de la Diversidad in Logrono until June 24.

This year, Ithra presents 鈥淩ooted in Warmth鈥� by Saudi multimedia artist Raghad Al-Ahmed, alongside a sensory experience, 鈥淪ummer Blessings,鈥� by Saudi visual narrative studio Nclass.

Visitors are encouraged to interact with and even climb the structure to experience the connection between agriculture and community ties to nature.

The installation was created with more than 50 women artisans from Jouf, northern 海角直播, inspired by Al-Ahmed鈥檚 roots in the Hejazi community, particularly Taif, where gatherings under tree shade are part of rural life.

The sensory experience 鈥淪ummer Blessings鈥� complements 鈥淩ooted in Warmth鈥� by showcasing the diversity of local fruits and herbs.

Noura Al-Zamil, head of programs at Ithra, said: 鈥淲e are proud to present Raghad Al-Ahmed鈥檚 work at Concentrico. Showcasing it at a leading European design festival reflects Ithra鈥檚 ongoing efforts to support creative expression.

鈥淭his initiative provides a platform for Saudi artists and artisans to share their work globally, enriching the cultural landscape. 鈥楻ooted in Warmth,鈥� combining personal and national identity with contemporary art, will encourage cross-cultural dialogue at the festival,鈥� she added.

After its debut in Spain, 鈥淩ooted in Warmth鈥� will be exhibited in 海角直播 as part of Tanween 2025 later this year.

Tanween, Ithra鈥檚 annual design event, highlights global design excellence and promotes creative innovation.
