Qatar: Close to My Soul Exhibition

The Qatar: Close to My Soul Art from the Collection of Abdulla bin Ali Al Thani exhibition presents works from the late 1960s onwards, providing a broad overview of Qatari art, artists, movements, and ideas that have shaped modern and contemporary art from the country. Modern and contemporary art in Qatar emerged as a visual extension of the political, economic and sociocultural context of the country in the second half of the twentieth century. A poetic journey into the past and present, Qatar: Close to My Soul is a testament to the diversity and development of the nation's visual culture. Featuring a significant number of artists and artworks, the exhibition reveals the distinct thematic approaches that have emerged and converged over different generations. The exhibition is divided into three thematic sections. The first of these, O'mri Qatar, explores how artists draw inspiration from traditional architectural and natural landscapes. The second, Dewdrops, features works portraying society, and the third, Boundless Expanse, presents various experiments in abstraction and hurruffiya, an art form incorporating Arabic letterforms. Through the exhibited works, texts, and archival material, visitors will gain a deeper insight into the history of modern and contemporary art in Qatar. Museum Hours: Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday: 9 am – 7 pm Monday: Closed Thursday: 9 am – 9 pm Friday: 1:30 pm - 7 pm Source: Mathaf: Arab Museum of Modern Art Note: The details mentioned in this event listing are sourced from the organizers' official announcements and are subject to change.
