Saudi-Brazilian Art Takes Center Stage at Neom Airport Opening

RIYADH — The Royal Institute of Traditional Arts (Wrth) has unveiled a new artwork at Neom Bay Airport, celebrating cultural ties between Saudi Arabia and Brazil.

Titled “Harmony,” the four‑meter installation features interwoven fabric threads, geometric patterns, and nature‑inspired motifs, blending Saudi traditional arts with Brazilian influences. The piece took more than 400 hours to complete and incorporates pearls, crystal, and traditional textiles.

Created by Wrth students Haya Al‑Naima, Sarah Al‑Jasser, and Sarah Al‑Harbi in collaboration with Brazilian artist Carmen Lenartowicz, the work is part of Wrth’s effort to showcase Saudi heritage in public spaces.

The institute has previously installed artworks at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh and Cairo International Airport.
