QM to open contemporary art exhibition in China
“Watering the Desert | Contemporary Art from Qatar” will be the first large-scale exhibition of Qatari and Qatar-based contemporary artists to be presented in China, Qatar Museums (QM) announced Sunday.
Curated by the QM’s Issa al-Shirawi and Maryam Hassan al-Thani, the exhibition organised in collaboration with Yuz Museum, will showcase from Wednesday (November 8) the work of 34 multidisciplinary artists, designers, and filmmakers working within Qatar’s artistic scene.
The exhibition is scheduled to be on view until March 3, 2024.
“‘Watering the Desert’ is the result of a six-year strategic partnership between the QM, Yuz Museum, and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA),” said QM Chairperson HE Sheikha Al Mayassa bint Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani.
“The exhibition highlights the importance of cross-cultural dialogue and exchanges through art,” she said. “We are proud to collaborate with Yuz Museum in Shanghai, a prominent Chinese institution and a long-time partner of Qatar Museums, in showcasing and amplifying distinct voices and artistic practices from Qatar.”
