Argentine artist Matilde Marin has a photograph and video exhibition at the Red Sea Museum. It is her first exhibition in Saudi Arabia. The show opened on October 8, 2026, and will remain open until December 31, 2026. Among the lighthouses included in the display are those in Jeddah and Yanbu.
Marin began the Pharus Project in 2005, prompted by news that GPS was replacing the use of lighthouses for navigation. The project records lighthouses and their histories. For the exhibition’s organizers, lighthouses are associated with guidance and hope. The exhibition was curated by Nadine A. Ghaffar, who linked Jeddah with pilgrimage and cultural exchange.
An illustrated catalogue accompanies the exhibition, with essays on Marin’s use of light and landscape and the development of the Pharus Project. The public programme includes film screenings, poetry and music performances, creative workshops, and activities designed for children and families.
