To celebrate the Qatar-India 2019 Year of Culture, two sets of photographers from Qatar and India participated in a photography exchange project to connect with people from different cultures, culminating in an exhibition titled “Where Cultures Meet” at Katara Cultural Village.

Qatari photographers Aisha Mubarak Al Sadah and Hamad Eid Al Shamari journeyed across the Himalayan region of Ladakh in northern India, capturing their experiences and the unique landscapes, sights and traditions they witnessed.

Indian Photographers Salim Abdulla and Ajeesh Puthiyadath are both based in Qatar and were selected from a locally held photographic competition to participate in the exhibition.
