Minister of Culture Mustafa Rawashdeh announced the completion of the Irbid Governorate narrative "Land and Human," which will soon be inaugurated at the Irbid Cultural Center to serve as a cultural space documenting the story of the place, its history, and its people.
Rawashdeh stated that the narrative is embodied in artistic panels combining images and information in both Arabic and English to tell generations the story of Irbid, its historical and cultural features, and the memories, stories, and achievements held within its land.
He explained that the project presents the governorates' story in a visual manner that merges art with information, contributing to introducing generations and visitors to Irbid's history and cultural specificity, and turning the Irbid Cultural Center into a space that celebrates the memory of the place and presents it in a different way.
Rawashdeh pointed out that this narrative is not merely paintings on the walls of a cultural center, but rather "the memory of a place written visually, and a human narrative preserved by generations and read by eyes before words."
The narrative comes within the framework of focusing on documenting the cultural memory of the place and highlighting the history, stories, and human experiences treasured by Jordanian governorates through artistic and visual tools that allow presenting this memory to generations in a way that combines knowledge and beauty.
The inauguration of "Land and Human" at the Irbid Cultural Center is expected to add to the cultural scene in the governorate by presenting a visual narrative that recalls Irbid's history and cultural features and opens a window for visitors into the memory of the place and the human.
