Luxembourg Arabic culture group hosts first event

In a lively and relaxed atmosphere, architect, a painter, and a music history scholar Ammar Khammash honoured the event, with a visual presentation of the history of Arab architecture, and its major landmarks.

The event took place at the Luxembourg Centre for Architecture in Hollerich hosted by people of many nationalities interested in Arabic culture and architecture, and was the first of a series of events entitled "101 Arabian Nights."

Ammar Khammash, who travelled from Jordan especially for the event, was happy to engage with the public discussing sharing his experiences, and elaborated on the concept of "biomimicry" which is the methods and techniques of innovation inspired by nature.

The president of AACE, Nizar Al Rawi called for more support for the innovative creators of original art, and more attention to aesthetics of the Arabic culture that can go a long way to help combatting violence and hatred that threaten our world.

Member of the culture ministry and first adviser to the government Bob Krieps was also present as his role of Vice President of the association. He commended the Association’s ability to establish partnerships with some of the most prominent cultural institutions and centres in Luxembourg in the short time it has existed.

He added that many cultural events are planned for the future celebrating, among other things, Arabic literature, cinema, calligraphy, and music.

At the end of the evening Ammar Khammash was presented with a ‘Certificate of Honour for Arabic Arts’, recognising his outstanding role in enriching the Arabic culture.
