"Pearls of Wonder: a digital era" Soft Opening, Washington, United States
Join us for the soft opening of our newest exhibition, "Pearls of Wonder: a digital era."
About this Event
The Qatar America Institute for Culture (QAIC) invites you to join us for the soft opening of Pearls of Wonder: a digital era. The multi-sensory exhibition featuring the work of five Qatari artists who explore the country’s rich and involved history of pearl diving and its related traditions and culture through a contemporary lens. Through video, audio, and VR, the exhibition evokes a time when Qatar was the most important pearl producer in the world, harkening back to a time when the tradition of pearl diving and its subsequent trade shaped the economic trajectory of the region.
Pearls of Wonder is curated by Dr. Bahaaeldin Abudaya, Curator of Contemporary Art, Qatar Museums and features artists Alanoud Al-Buainain, Maryam Al-Homaid, Saida Al-Khulaifi, May Saleh Almannai, and Mohammed Faraj Al-Suwaidi.
Pearls of Wonder was originally presented at Lavan 541 in New York City in 2021 during the Qatar – USA Year of Culture 2021. The exhibition’s presentation at QAIC is generously made possible by Excelerate Energy.
Light refreshments will be served. QAIC is a fully accessible building with ramp access and elevator access to every floor. Please contact us at ZXZlbnRzIHwgcWF0YXJhbWVyaWNhICEgb3Jn if there is any way we can make your visit more accommodating.
