On February 12, 2024, in Doha, the capital of Qatar full of Arab style, the founder of "Homecoming" fur painting, Azgul Ufur, commissioned Xu Gongzi and Fang Hua of the Arabian Stables of the Dynasty to visit His Excellency Farah Onese, Chairman of the Headquarters and Investment Department of the Qatar Association. This meeting not only marks the further deepening of cultural exchanges between the two countries, but also opens a new chapter for the dissemination of intangible cultural heritage items of fur painting around the world.
The two sides had an in-depth discussion on the dissemination and promotion of this unique intangible cultural heritage item in Qatar and the Middle East. As one of the traditional crafts in China, fur painting is deeply loved by people from all walks of life for its exquisite production skills and profound cultural connotation. This collaboration aims to combine fur painting with Arabian horse culture, showing the unique charm of both in art and culture.
In order to let more people understand and appreciate the beauty of the combination of fur painting and Arabian horse culture, the "Return" fur painting team also planned a trip to the Middle East called "Horse Culture on Fur". This activity will bring the charm of fur painting through the desert and into every corner of Arab countries, so that more people can appreciate the unique charm of this intangible cultural heritage item.
During the meeting, His Excellency Farah Oneiser gladly accepted two Arab horse fur paintings presented by the "Homecoming" fur painting team to the ** Society and the royal family. These two works not only symbolize the new progress of cultural exchanges and cooperation between the two sides, but also a noble tribute to the Arabian horse culture.
Qatar** is a privately chartered, non-profit organization based in Qatar dedicated to education, scientific research and social development. Founded by the old King Emir Hamad and the Queen Mother Moza, the Association has built a university town, a college and a training program, providing important support for social development. The cooperation with the "Returning" fur painting will undoubtedly inject new vitality into the cultural exchange project of the ** Society.
The fiber artists represented by Azgul Wufur deeply combine the resources of Chinese horse culture, Silk Road horse culture, nomadic culture and the culture of various ethnic groups in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, excavate characteristic literary and artistic materials, innovate the content of paintings, and conduct multi-dimensional analysis from the aspects of subject matter, color use, three-dimensional sense, expression techniques and work styles, etc., and gradually form a new exploration and promotion of horse culture and art in the further research and prospect for the future, which will also promote the sustainable development and inheritance of its creation.
With the deepening of global cultural exchanges, intangible cultural heritage items such as fur paintings are gradually attracting more attention and love. This cooperation not only opens up a new path for the dissemination of fur paintings around the world, but also injects new impetus into the cultural exchanges between China and Qatar. It is believed that with the joint efforts of both sides, the intangible cultural heritage project of fur painting will bloom more brilliantly in the world. (*China.com).
