1986 Kuwait Cultural Life – 25th Anniversary of Kuwait Independence | Dar al-Athar al-Islamiyyah

Published to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Kuwait’s independence, Kuwait Cultural Life is a fascinating survey of the country’s artistic and cultural development during a particularly important period in modern Kuwait history. Edited by Sheikha Hussa Sabah Salem Al Sabah for Dar al-Athar al-Islamiyyah, the volume brings together essays on the Kuwait National Museum, archaeological excavations on Failaka Island, traditional Bedouin weaving, dhow building, architecture, cinema and television, and the development of Kuwait’s modern visual arts.

Illustrated throughout with historic photographs, architecture, archaeological sites and works by important Kuwaiti artists including Sami Mohammad, the publication captures Kuwait’s cultural landscape immediately before the enormous disruptions of the 1990 invasion. Originally connected to a special arts supplement and produced locally in Kuwait, surviving copies are now exceptionally difficult to locate on the market. Softcover with visible age-related wear and creasing consistent with its nearly 40-year history.
