The majlis - cultures in dialogue is comprised of objects that tell stories. Stories about a long history of exchanges and dialogue in the arabian peninsulaand beyond. Storiesthatone might hear in a mmus, the space present in every arab home where people gather to talkand socialize. Stories that recall the mutual - and often forgotten - influences between the islamic civilization, Europe, India and the far east.
