Tasmeem Doha 2024

This year, Tasmeem Doha will be held at various locations across the city, including but not limited to VCUarts Qatar’s campus in Education City, M7 in Msheireb Downtown, and Expo 2023 Doha in Al Bidda Park. As with previous editions, the conference consists of workshops, panel discussions and expert talks.

The three-day event will feature technology gurus, critical theories and robot makers in addition to practitioners in those core elements of art and design that VCUarts Qatar is currently engaging with.

Tasmeem Doha is an international, biennial art and design conference hosted and organised by VCUarts Qatar since 2004. Each edition of Tasmeem Doha highlights a unique and contemporary theme within art and design, exploring novel concepts, methods, and applications, and engaging in critical discussions. Much of the  event is open to the public, with attendees and participants consisting of international designers, artists, academics, students, industry professionals, and the local community.

“Under Construction” takes place during the 25th Anniversary year of Virginia Commonwealth University’s campus in Doha, Qatar, and is itself the 13th edition of the event, so the temporality of change, the persistence of memory, and their impact on our future will also feature in the program. Contributors to the program include returning speakers and workshop leaders, Richmond-based VCU faculty, VCUarts Qatar alumni, as well as participants new to the event and the community.
