As part of the migrating Bedouin heritage, an Al-Majlees is a reception room used by guests in traditional Arab households. It is a public area where people congregate to talk about local issues, exchange information and build social ties. Discussions regarding social and cultural issues have taken place regarding this space as a result of the growth of collaborative and participatory approaches. The junction of two zones with several overlapping sectors is crucial to my creative work, especially in light of the library vision 2025. It involves information gathering, education, communication and exploration. Both Al-Majlees and the library are places where all of these things come together. Locations such as Al-Majlees can foster intellectual growth, dialogue and idea sharing.

This format aligns with the evolving nature of Al-Majlees, which has taken on many shapes and presentations. I would like to have a compact table to accommodate a coffee pot (dallah), dates and other essential objects. A table and ten chairs would accommodate ten people in a single session. This arrangement requires an area of around 10 to 15 square feet. The participants will be presented with a date, a cup of coffee, a piece of cloth and some ink with a brush. I shall serve the coffee to them and then they will use the ink and the cloth to create their impression of what the sharing of coffee has meant to them. Each session will typically last around 60 minutes with a 30-minute break to separate the two elements, a total of 90 minutes. This cycle could be repeated for a total of three sessions.
