Launched in 2012, Years of Culture broadens mutual understanding and appreciation through a year-long series of artistic, educational and cultural collaborations. Each year, Qatar partners with one or more countries, providing a platform for dialogue, creativity, and shared heritage.
In 2025, the initiative takes on a particularly ambitious scope, simultaneously celebrating the Qatar-Argentina and Qatar-Chile Year of Culture. This dual focus underscores Qatar’s commitment to fostering cultural ties with Latin America, showcasing the varied histories of these two South American nations.
Argentina, the eighth-largest country in the world, is renowned for its breathtaking scenery, distinct culture, and deep-rooted traditions. From the towering peaks of the Andes to the sweeping plains of the Pampas and the ecosystems of Patagonia, Argentina’s geography is as diverse as its people. Buenos Aires, its cosmopolitan capital, is a hub of historic architecture, gastronomy, and a thriving arts scene.
The Qatar-Argentina 2025 Year of Culture highlights the rich tapestry of Latin American culture alongside Qatar’s vibrant heritage.
Stretching over 4,300 kilometres along the Pacific coast of South America, Chile is a land of striking contrasts, ranging from the stunning Atacama Desert in the north to the icy fjords of Patagonia in the south. The country's long and narrow geography has shaped its unique cultural identity. Chile’s capital Santiago is a multifaceted blend of colonial heritage, modern skyscrapers, and a flourishing culinary and creative landscape.
The Qatar-Chile 2025 Year of Culture presents an exciting opportunity to explore these rich traditions, fostering collaboration and friendship.
The Qatar-Argentina and Qatar-Chile 2025 Year of Culture promises to be a landmark occasion, uniting Qatar with both nations through events and partnerships highlighting cultural preservation, creative industries, social development and innovation.
By honouring the depth and richness of Argentinian and Chilean cultures, the 2025 edition will not only enhance Qatar’s engagement with Latin America but also contribute to a more interconnected and culturally aware global community.
The Qatar Argentina and Chile 2025 Year of Culture invites communities from both nations to connect through a celebration of our cultures.
