The Fire Station in Qatar is set to host the inaugural Artists Intensive Study Programme (AISP) exhibition, curated by the institution's artistic director Wael Shawky. The exhibition will run from November 8 to February 6, 2027, showcasing new projects by 22 artists from Qatar and 14 artists from around the globe. Developed over nine months of research and exploration, the works present a wide range of mediums and interdisciplinary practices, exploring themes such as migration, memory, belonging, public space, and cultural heritage.
Fire Station Artistic Director Shawky emphasized that the exhibition reflects the program's mission of connecting emerging artists with internationally recognized artists, fostering critical dialogue and expanding contemporary intellectual discourse. The exhibition is part of Qatar Creates' Fall/Winter 2026/2027 season, which aims to promote global cultural exchange and dialogue.
The AISP program, a successor to the Artist in Residence (AIR) Programme, adopts an intensive study model centered on critical thinking and professional artistic development.
