Staying tuned to the fast-changing global culture, which emphasizes the importance and relevance of diversity in every aspect of human development, the all-encompassing Katara Cultural Village is a multidimensional project of Qatar. It’s a resource that lets talented people come together to share and experience their respective cultures. With concert halls, beautiful theatres, exhibition galleries and other cutting-edge facilities, it looks to become a platform for multi-cultural activities.
In line with the broad goals set by the Qatar National Vision 2030, it aims to preserve the heritage and traditions of not only Qatar but also of other places of the world, in an endeavors to create awareness about the importance of all cultures and civilizations and as such, it regularly hosts festivals, workshops, exhibitions and performances – of international, regional and even local scope.
Katara has been born out of a grand vision of positioning the State of Qatar as a major cultural beacon a lofty lighthouse of art that radiates in the Middle East through activities like literature, music, theatre, conventions and visual art. The cultural village gives a glimpse of the future of a culturally united world wherein people of different backgrounds can overcome their geographical boundaries, to embrace a common cause and promote humanity.
In effect, Katara is the place where the splendor of the future meets grace of the past. An introductory note, explaining the meaning of the name, mentions: “The name appeared in the historical maps and geographical in early 18th century. In an Arabian Peninsula coast line, sea and gulf map, the name was written ‘Katara’ instead of ‘Catara’, the designation often used by geographers from the Ptolemaeus map in 150 AD right until 1738 AD. Since 150 AD, it was the name designated for Qatar Peninsula. It stipulated the Qatar Peninsula’s geographical location under the name of Catara, to the west of the town of Cadara, and North West of Gerra or near it.”
