Description
Under a vast canopy of tents in the Saudi city of Jeddah, religious artefacts are on display alongside contemporary art pieces, part of the kingdom's bid to transform its ultraconservative image. "This bringing together of the contemporary and the past really emphasises the change that Saudi Arabia is going through," says Saudi artist Muhannad Shono, curator of the Islamic Arts Biennale.
