Qantara.de, published in association with Deutsche Welle, released Stefan Weidner's German feature on 6 September 2022, Goethe Medaille für Mohamed Abla: Der Maler als Geschichtenerzähler.
Abla is presented as the first Egyptian visual artist to receive the Goethe Medal, Germany's official honour in foreign cultural policy. Weidner writes about the painter as a storyteller, and about a career that has moved between Egypt and a wider public. The gallery is not named. An English Qantara version of the same honour exists; this card uses the German original, which is the text this search was asked to find.
Weidner writes in German about painting as a way of telling stories, and about the honour as recognition of a long public career. The English Qantara version covers the same medal; this card is for the German original.
Tabari represents Mohamed Abla, and has shown his work in Dubai, including The Silk Road.
