Doha: Cultural Village Foundation, Katara in cooperation with Qatar America Institute for Culture (QAIC) will hold the exhibition titled “Women of the pandemic” at Building 47, Gallery 2 starting March 5 to 31, from 10am to 10pm.
This was also exhibited at QAIC’s headquarters in Washington, DC, in 2021 and a virtual exhibition was also hosted by Katara last year through its website.
The exhibit is aimed to reflect on how women have confronted the realities of life in a pandemic. It features the arts of four Qatari and four American female artists whose works reflect their resilience and artistic ambitions during a time of major adversity, which tested the creative communities worldwide.
The artists include Sarah Ahmad, Haifa Al Khuzai, Anna U Davis, Jawafer Rashid Al Mannai, Jordanne Wine, Abeer Al Kuwari, Alexandra N Sherman, and Maryam Abdulla Al Khaldi.
According to QAIC, this exhibition is “an opportunity for artistic dialogue and reflection on a global shared crisis and issues of significance to women empowerment through film, sculpture, photography, and painting.”
QAIC is an independent non-profit organisation that creates, curates, and executes programmes and research that amplify the prominence of all forms of art and culture from the United States, Qatar, and the larger Arab and Islamic worlds.
