Doha, Qatar - The Katara Art Centre kicked off its new season with two exhibitions on September 2, set to run until October 7 at the Cultural Village Foundation's headquarters. The season includes a group exhibition titled "Fractures of the Future" and a solo show by artist Hessa Al Kuwari named "The Lounge: What Can a Room Remember."
The group exhibition features works from four artists - Samah Azzam, Ahmed Al Jufairi, Moza Al Kuwari, and Fatima Mohammed. Their pieces delve into the future while addressing present-day challenges, such as climate change and land exploitation. The artists reimagine the future through various methods, including science fiction, systems thinking, oral history, and material experimentation.
These strategies are not solely about predicting the future but also about understanding and responding to current social, economic, and environmental issues.
In contrast, "The Lounge: What Can a Room Remember" is Hessa Al Kuwari's first solo exhibition. Through paintings, photography, and installations, the artist explores the significance of living rooms in everyday life. The artworks examine the patterns, objects, pieces of furniture, clothing, and rituals that make up these spaces, which may appear ordinary at first glance.
