A Vision for Cultural Exchange
Katara Cultural Village is a unique project that promotes human interaction through art and cultural exchange. It was made possible by the inspiring vision, solid faith, and wise leadership of HH Sheikh Hamad Bin Khalifa Al Thani, the Father Emir of the State of Qatar. The name “Katara” is derived from the ancient name designated for Qatar Peninsula, “Catara.” The revival of this name was decided to uphold Qatar’s connection to ancient heritage and honor its distinguished position since the dawn of history.
Purpose of Katara
The project serves as a guardian of the heritage and traditions of Qatar and aims to spread awareness about the importance of every culture and civilization. It hosts international, regional, and local festivals, workshops, performances, and exhibitions to fulfill the goals set forward by the Qatar National Vision 2030.
The Idea of Katara
Katara Cultural Village was born out of a long-held vision to position the State of Qatar as a cultural beacon that radiates in the Middle East through theatre, literature, music, visual art, conventions, and exhibitions. It is a place where people of different cultural backgrounds overcome their national boundaries and embrace common causes to promote a united humanity.
Vision of Katara
Katara Cultural Village aims to become a world-leader for multi-cultural activities. It aspires to build a community of creative and innovative people who are aware of their surroundings and knowledgeable about global cultures and values. Katara provides a platform for people of the world to come together, share the wealth of their vibrant cultures, embrace differences that make our world unique, and discover similarities that unite people regardless of their origin.
