Details:
The we refuse_d exhibition at Mathaf: Arab Museum of Modern Art presents a powerful collective showcase featuring fifteen artists whose works explore themes of resistance, persistence, heritage, and emotional resilience. The exhibition channels the spirit of refusal as a form of expression, echoing the historical significance of the French Salon des Refusés while reinterpreting it in a contemporary Arab context. Through newly commissioned works and collaborative artistic development, the exhibition highlights how art can serve as a response to societal challenges and moments of crisis. Visitors will experience a diverse range of mediums, including installations, visual narratives, sculptures, and conceptual works that address personal and collective histories. The exhibition emphasizes solidarity, creativity, and the necessity of artistic presence during turbulent times. Museum hours vary throughout the week, offering ample opportunity for visitors to engage with the artworks and reflect on the exhibition’s themes. By presenting voices that challenge traditional structures and expectations, the exhibition provides a platform for artists who use creativity as a means of transformation, dialogue, and cultural preservation. It stands as a significant contribution to Qatar’s growing commitment to contemporary art and cross-cultural artistic exploration.
