"Al-Mayida" The Dining Table in Arabic is an interactive and community-focused art exhibition exploring the cultural and social significance of the dining table. This exhibit will delve into themes of gathering, sharing, and storytelling through various artistic mediums, including ceramics, textiles, and Arabic calligraphy.

The exhibition will feature a dynamic and participatory installation with the dining table as the central motif.

 It aims to be a vibrant and inclusive celebration of community, culture, and creativity. By involving the local community in the creation process and incorporating elements of Arabic calligraphy, this exhibition will not only showcase diverse artistic expressions but also build a stronger sense of connection and understanding among participants and visitors.
