Mal Lawal 3 Magnet set of 6 - Doors

This set of six magnets depicts paintings of the marvellous doors, which can still be found adorning the entrances of old buildings around Qatar. While modernity pops up around them, these gems are like sentinels from the past, reminding us of the days gone by. Aisha Fakhroo, the artist that created the original paintings seen on this set of magnets, is passionate about documenting the ancient sights of Qatar. Mal Lawal, Arabic for “from the old days,” is Qatar Museums’ community-led contributions shaped biennale, that draws a connection between the old – the private collections that exist in Qatar – and the new, the original works of art being created by Qatari artists today. While the exhibition promotes the importance of acquiring and developing a personal collection that will benefit future generations, it also offers citizens and residents unique souvenirs reminiscent of the old days. Made In Spain Dimensions: 15 x 9,5 cm. Material: 6 square soft magnets, four-colour printing
