Qatar Creates announced a series of public discussions under Qatar Creates Week activities, starting this Monday, 24 October until Saturday, 29 October.

The panel discussions feature renowned figures from the local and international art scene, including HE Sheikha Al Mayassa bint Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, along with acclaimed art practitioners, industry experts and patrons. The conversations will highlight a variety of perspectives exploring the impacts of art on culture.

The panels will be hosted at various venues –  at the Museum of Islamic Art (MIA), Liwan Design Studios and Lab, Mathaf: Arab Museum of Modern Art, National Museum of Qatar (NMoQ) and M7, and will cover diverse topics on the interaction between heritage, art, geography, society and politics.

According to Qatar Creates Executive Director Saad Al Hudaifi, the panel discussions will pave the way for attendees to hear and learn from award-winning artists, influential patrons of the arts and global art advocates.

We are honoured to lead the efforts towards facilitating and encouraging these important dialogues as part of Qatar Creates Week, which will undoubtedly become a powerful experience for all participants.
