The Cultural Village Foundation – Katara is hosting the ‘Sports Moments’ photo exhibition which opened recently at the Youth Hobbies Centre in Building 18, featuring photographers Yousef Al Walidi and Mohammed Ali.

The exhibition was opened by Ahmed Al Sayyed, Vice General Manager of Katara and Abdulaziz Al Kubaisi, Photography Department Manager at the Youth Hobbies Centre. Amateur photographers and enthusiasts also came for the opening. The gallery showcases over 40 photographs of different sports events in Qatar.

Speaking during the opening ceremony, Al Sayyed said that Katara will continue to provide a venue for young creative people to express their passions. He said that the photo gallery is one of Katara’s many opportunities founded for that cause.

According to Al Kubaisi, the Youth Hobbies Centre has more than 2,000 registered members. The photo gallery was opened for two expatriate photographers, an assurance that the centre supports the creativity of youth in Qatar no matter where they’re from.
