Issue 9
By celebrating the diverse history of Qatar , we can appreciate how its culture continues to be impacted and influenced by tradition . Each new generation is shaped by the one before , while adding their own chapter to the chronicles of the country .
Qatar ’ s story is an unending tapestry , the threads interweaving and providing support to the threads around them . Even those practices which may seem modern are often inspired and shaped by those that came centuries before ; children learn ancient methods from their grandparents , adding their own twists before passing them on to their families .
No tradition is ever finished or done evolving . Each generation just borrows a tradition for a time , tending to it and making it their own , before passing it down . This is how Qatar ’ s ancestors are kept alive , a presence intimately felt in every part of the country ’ s culture .
