A short film on cyber bullying won the Best Picture award this year. P | 3 | SUNDAY 12 APRIL 2015 | 02 CULTURE BY YASIN ABU TAQIU n a society troubled by religious extremism, an Arab woman is using art to promote religious Itolerance. Majd Ramadan has showcased her work in more than 100 exhibitions in the Middle East, Europe and Asia. Born in Qatar to Lebanese parents, she divides her time between Doha and Beirut. “From childhood I have liked drawing and painting, and this helped nurture me as a professional artist,” she says. Majd’s art seeks out the similarities between religions in a bid to promote tolerance. In 2012, she painted an icon in which she expressed the similarities between Islam and Christianity. The icon was well received in Europe and the Middle East, and in 2012 it was presented to Pope Benedict XVI in Vatican. The Pope awarded Majd a gold medal in acknowledgement of her works. “As we arrived in Vatican City, the offi- cials told me I was the first Muslim to present an icon to the Vatican and that the Pope was happy with my work to bridge the gap between religions using art,” she said.
