To commemorate the 50th anniversary of Jordan and Mexico's diplomatic ties, the Mexican Embassy in Amman hosted a visual arts exhibition in which the Fine Arts faculty took part. "Frida Through the Eyes of Young Jordanian Artists," the exhibition's title, was attended by Dr. Nancy Nimroqa, Minister of State. Under the direction of Dr. Mohammed Salem, Head of the Fine Arts Department, the exhibition included 77 modern pieces of art that drew inspiration from the life of Mexican artist Frida Kahlo. More than 70 male and female college students produced the pieces, which represented Kahlo's symbolic presence as a worldwide symbol of artistic integrity and audacity while also expressing their own visual interpretations of her legacy. 

The Mexican ambassador to Jordan, said that the two nations' relationship goes beyond formal and institutional frameworks to include deep-seated cultural and human ties. “The art exhibition is a clear indication of the deep appreciation that young Jordanian artists have for contemporary Mexican art," he said.

Salem emphasized the role that Yarmouk University's Fine Arts faculty plays in fostering artistic and cultural communication, pointing out the significance of these efforts in enhancing the college's artistic visibility both domestically and abroad, showcasing students' creative energies, and creating opportunities for collaboration with embassies and cultural institutions that foster idea sharing.  

The exhibition, which runs until August 6, represents a unique milestone in the university's cultural landscape and a valuable academic opportunity to deepen students' awareness of global art issues. It also represents a practical embodiment of the Sustainable Development Goals in activating the role of the arts as a tool for cultural expression and cultural exchange.
