Opportunity description
Qatar Museums invited each and everyone to visit “Wafa Al Hamad: Geography of Imagination" exhibition, as "Wafa Al Hamad: Geography of Imagination" is the first comprehensive museum exhibition exploring the career of pioneering Qatari artist, educator, and designer Wafa Al Hamad (1964–2012).
"Wafa Al Hamad: Geography of Imagination" is the first comprehensive museum exhibition exploring the career of pioneering Qatari artist, educator, and designer Wafa Al Hamad (1964–2012).
The exhibition includes works from the collection of Mathaf: Arab Museum of Modern Art, including watercolors, oils, woodwork, and digital art, along with archival materials and loaned works. Wafa Al Hamad's art is such visual experience in which Arabic calligraphy intersects with optical illusions, abstraction, and three-dimensional design, creating dreamlike worlds where inherited memory meets contemporary expression.
The exhibition explores the global and Gulf influences that have influenced the development of modern art and abstraction and contributed to shaping Al Hamad's artistic vision. It also highlights the Qatari and Arab traditions, that inspired its aesthetic practices, revealing a unique and valuable artistic philosophy.
