The Doha Design District (DDD) has recently announced the winners of its Public Art Open Call initiative, four projects that will be developed into installations in Msheireb Downtown. The winning pieces include 'Whispering Leaves' by Guillaume Rousere and Maryam Faraj AlSuwaidi (France & Qatar), 'Gravity Drops Along a Surface' by Maryam Aljomairi and Latifa Alkhayat-Maraj (Bahrain), 'Desert in Motion' by Dana Anas Karuvattil (India) and 'Fanayeen' by Amanda and Joe Bou Abboud (Boo Design Studio) (Lebanon & Qatar).
The selection process involved a two-stage evaluation, combining an independent jury assessment with an open public vote. The jury, composed of respected voices in design, culture, and urban development, found the submissions creative and authentic, making the selection process challenging. The winners were announced at a special program where all 20 finalists' works were displayed.
Highlighting the importance of public participation in shaping their city, DDD director Dana Kazic emphasized the role of the Public Art Open Call in elevating design and giving creators the opportunity to express their passion. The four winning teams will now move forward with developing their projects, transforming Msheireb Downtown into an open-air stage for contemporary artistic expression.
