São Paulo – Exhibition “Amrik”, which brings together photographs on Arab immigration and influence in South America, is up and running since last Saturday (3rd) at the National Museum of Saudi Arabia, in Riyadh, the capital of the country.
The display, originally shown in Brazil in 2005 by an initiative of the Brazilian foreign office (Itamaraty), has travelled the world and now should remain in Riyadh until the 16th. The exhibition was organized by the Brazilian embassy in the Saudi capital.
The ambassador Sérgio Luiz Canaes opened the exhibition alongside the Brazilian ambassador to Qatar, Ânuar Nahes. After Riyadh, the show will head to Doha, the capital of Qatar, where it will remain for one month, and then on to Oman.
Canaes informed that the Saudi National Museum, visited by the Brazilian president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva last May, is going to exhibit part of its collection in a season at the Louvre, in Paris, and then in the United States, from where it will possibly travel to Brazil.
