Doha, Qatar: Qatar Reads initiative has once again demonstrated its commitment to fostering a love of reading among the younger generation with the launch of the Fables in Fashion Art Exhibition 2025, Minister of State and President of Qatar National Library  H E Dr. Hamad bin Abdulaziz Al-Kawari said.

Speaking to The Peninsula recently, Dr. Al-Kawari noted that the Qatar Reads, which began as a modest effort, has blossomed into something far more impactful, driven by the enthusiasm and awareness of young participants.

“Qatar Reads, in the beginning, was initiated to encourage reading, and especially in the Arabic language, for the new generation.

“The recent exhibition serves as a testament to this transformation, where ancient words are brought to life through contemporary interpretations and actions,” he said.

He noted that the exhibition, which centres on the classic Arabic text Maqamat Al-Hariri, underscores the enduring richness of Arab culture and its relevance in the modern world.
