For the 2nd year in a row (or maybe 3rd), I had the pleasure of attending Kuwait International Exhibition on Islamic Arts and its Application on Metal Crafts. The exhibition was held The Grand Mosque's exhibition area in Kuwait City. I wanted to get some ideas and inspiration for decorating my home. The event assembled 16 artisans, from various islamic countries like Algeria, Afghanistan, Egypt, Iran, Lebanon, Morocco, Turkey, and more. I found myself more intrigued into exploring the art of calligraphy than metal crafts. If I had the time I would have loved to join the arabic calligraphy workshops that were held during the event. Here's a quick look at what caught my attention.
Did you know that Marie Claire, an international women's magazine, has been launched in Kuwait and their second issue is already in newsstands? Winner of the Best Women's Magazine and Magazine of the Year award for 2005, the magazine reportedly has over 14 million readers worldwide with 26 editions in 13 languages across the world. Marie Clair - Kuwait is in Arabic of course. The magazine offers an editorial mix of journalism with glamour, fashion and beauty coverage, and feature stories of lifestyle and serious women related issues. All by an Arabic editorial team. Have you read it? If yes, what do you think of it?
