SAUDI ARABIA---A photo exhibition 'Prayer Rooms' [is now open] at Athr Gallery in Jeddah. A photographer Ammar Al Attar surveys prayer rooms across Jeddah. Mandated in public buildings by national legislation, these informal worship areas are ubiquitous, providing the faithful a place for their five prayers a day regardless of their location. The exhibition will run until June 13, 2013. The viewer experiences the artist’s perspective of these rooms as they are. [link]
