Neuware - An enchanting visual journey through one of the most iconic edifices in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia: Bab Al-Bunt heritage building. Located in Al-Balad, a UNESCO World Heritage site in the heart of Jeddah, Bab Al-Bunt was once vibrant with life. Until the 1950s, it served at the city's customhouse, in Jeddah's capacity as the Red Sea's main port. For decades, this magnificent building also represented the main gateway through the Red Sea for millions of Muslim believers from around the world who travelled to Mecca to perform their pilgrimage, turning Jeddah into the gateway to Mecca. In order to celebrate and preserve this building's unique historical and architectural value, the Ministry of Culture in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia turned Bab Al-Bunt into a major cultural and artistic destination: the Red Sea Museum. With its rare collection of books, maps, photographs, historical artifacts, and contemporary artworks, the museum represents a cultural and historical window into the aesthetic and heritage values of the Red Sea coastal cities. The Gate of Gates is the catalogue of the Red Sea Museum's inaugural exhibition. Curated by famous writer Philippe Cardinal, the exhibit showcases a unique collection of photographs by renowned Saudi artist Moath Alofi, that revives the soul of this magnificent building, rich in history and memory.

About this title

Synopsis

Crafted by writer Philippe Cardinal, the debut exhibition 'The Gate of Gates' at the Red Sea Museum presents an exclusive collection of photographs by acclaimed Saudi artist Moath Alofi, breathing life back into the spirit of Bab al-Bunt, nestled in Jeddah's heart. Once the primary entrance through the Red Sea for millions of global Muslim pilgrims en route to Holy Mecca, Bab al-Bunt stood tall in al-Balad for decades. Commissioned by Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Culture, Moath Alofi's lens not only captures the building's rich architectural details but also preserves the enigma of abandoned items within, echoing a bygone era and testifying to the site's vibrancy over centuries.
