Unveiling ‘Hazawy’: A Mesmerizing Journey into Qatari Folklore

Produced by the Qatar Museums Digital Production team in 2023 under the leadership of Sheikha Roda Al Thani, “Hazawy” is a four-part series of animated shorts that brings Qatari folklore to life.

Mohammed Al Rumaihi, CEO of Qatar Museums, expressed his pride:

“Receiving these awards is a proud moment for us and a testament to the remarkable efforts of our Digital Production team. ‘Hazawy’ is a shining example of our ongoing mission to preserve and celebrate Qatar’s rich folklore through innovative and engaging storytelling. We are thrilled to see our work recognised on such a prestigious platform.”

Sheikha Roda Al Thani, Multimedia Producer Coordinator and lead producer of the series, added:

“We are immensely honoured by this recognition from the Collision Awards. The success of ‘Hazawy’ is a testament to the dedication and creativity of our Digital Production team. This series is more than just animation; it’s a heartfelt tribute to our cultural legacy, and seeing it resonate with audiences around the world is truly rewarding.”

Why ‘Hazawy’ Stands Out

The Collision Awards are renowned for celebrating outstanding achievements across various fields. “Hazawy” has been recognised not only for its artistic excellence but also for its significant impact in the non-profit sector. This dual recognition underscores the series' exceptional contribution to both arts and culture and its powerful outreach.
