The Middle East Institute Arts and Culture Center invites you to a panel conversation about the arts in Bahrain with three artists featured in its current exhibition, The Sea of Life: Modern and Contemporary Art from The Kingdom of Bahrain. The panel is part of the ongoing programming around the exhibition, which runs until March 26, 2024.
Two designers have shared their love for the kingdom’s culture and heritage by crafting unique jewellery and creating a film featuring three prominent Bahraini female creatives.
Virginie Dreyer and Nathaly Jung’s The Land of Destiny is a jewellery collection hand-crafted in 18k rose gold and inspired by the minimalist ancient script Cuneiform.
Virginie is a jewellery designer at tinyOM while Nathaly is an artist and founder of the home decor brand Yalla Habibi.
“We have been friends for many years and share artistic ventures,” said Virginie.
“We both call Bahrain home and during our visit to the Bahrain National Museum, we came across a minimalist ancient script called Cuneiform. It was the widely used writing system from the ancient Middle East, dating back to 3,400BC.
