Doha, Qatar welcomes an innovative exhibition titled "All That Is Unseen" at Northwestern University in Qatar's (NU-Q) Media Majlis Museum. This marks the first touring exhibition by ACMI, Australia's national museum of screen culture, in the region and the initial major exhibition by London-based artist collective Marshmallow Laser Feast (MLF) in Qatar and the broader Middle East.
The immersive display, presented in collaboration with ACMI, transforms the audience's journey and context to provide a fresh perspective on MLF's work. Spanning large-scale video presentations, guided meditation, and interactive experiences, the exhibition explores the unseen systems that connect all living entities, from a single breath to the cosmos.
NU-Q Dean and CEO Marwan M. Kraidy emphasized the exhibition's mission to make the unseen not only visible but experienced. He highlighted the project as a "truly transcontinental collaboration," bringing together the Media Majlis Museum, ACMI, and MLF. Kraidy also noted the exhibition's potential to prompt visitors to reflect on the fundamental components of human life, the body, and the world, as well as the connections between people and the environment.
Alfredo Cramerotti, Director of the Media Majlis Museum, explained that the exhibition is rooted in scientific evidence, re-contextualized and presented through an artistic format. He stated that the exhibition aims to engage students, faculty, the Education City community, and the wider Doha region in Qatar.
Curator of Art, Media, and Technology Jack Thomas-Taylor revealed that the exhibition has been in development for three years, integrating art, data, science, and evidence. The journey starts with the human body, delving into processes that explore the relationship between humans and nature. Thomas-Taylor emphasized that the exhibition is not about providing answers but encouraging visitors to feel more connected to nature and recognize the similarities between the human body and the natural world.
Visitors can explore "All That Is Unseen" from October 5, 2026, to January 21, 2027, from 10 AM to 8 PM, Sunday through Thursday. Admission is free, inviting all to experience this thought-provoking and immersive exhibition.
