DOHA: Hamad Bin Khalifa University (HBKU) will take its students, members of the Education City community, and all incoming visitors on a reminiscent journey through time as part of its Lawal Antiquities Exhibition.
The exhibition will start tomorrow and will continue until October 24, at the Multaqa building (formerly known as the Education City Student Center). The exhibition will aim to showcase rarities that date back to more than a century of age.
Most prominently on display will be a collection of antiques belonging to Kamal Naji Mohamad who began accumulating wide-ranging artefacts from an early age. Visitors will be treated to a display of antique objects including old cameras, televisions and radios that were vastly popular prior to the advancement of modern-day technologies. The exhibition will also feature a display of traditional Qatari clothes and historical books to inform visitors of the country's ancestral past, as well as its roadmap for the future.
Maryam Al Mannai, vice president of student affairs at HBKU, said, 'The exhibition meets HBKU's consistent objectives of immersing the wider community in culturally enriching experiences. Kamal Naji's collection today reinforces that history is the narrative that gives meaning, sense and explanatory force to the past and the present.
