When words come alive

Creatives from across the kingdom expressed themselves through words and art during a popular event to inspire and empower.

‘Confluence – Where Words and Images Meet’, was organized by the Bahrain Writers’ Circle (BWC) in collaboration with the Bahrain Financial Harbour (BFH) at Harbour Gate and hosted under the patronage of renowned Bahraini poet, novelist, and writer, Hameed Al Qaed.

"We were proud to support Bahraini and international artists by providing them event space and a platform to showcase their talent, enhancing our contribution to society,” said Alex Craine, CEO of Bahrain Financial Harbour. “We have established a series of popular ‘Art at BFH’ solo exhibitions with more than 60 displays over the past seven years and were delighted to welcome back the group exhibition ‘Confluence” for the seventh consecutive time as part of our annual events calendar’.

 The colourful exhibit featured works from 28 teams and six nationalities.

“The Bahrain Writers’ Circle celebrated our annual tradition through expression of universal personal experiences, revealing deeper insights through poetry and art,” said Saira Ranj, BWC director. “Serving as a mirror of society, we brought artists that captured their cultural values, current struggles, and transformations through the written word as well as a visual outlet. It will make you think, feel, and process perspectives.” 

Like in previous years, the ‘Confluence’ brochure is produced as a digital version and accessible for everyone.

The brochure is also available for download on the BWC’s website: https://bwcbh.com/welcome/.
