Qatar Museums will close on December 31 its Portals in Flux, the culminating exhibition of the ninth Artist-in-Residence (AIR) program at Fire Station.
The showcase at the Garage Gallery explores the concept of movement and transformation. The exhibition brings together works across diverse media that reflect on crossing thresholds—physical, emotional, and conceptual.
From desert landscapes and celestial forms to intimate domestic spaces, the works bend the viewer’s sense of time and space, exploring the deep interplay between memory and materiality.
The 15 participating artists represent a diversity of nationalities and disciplines, including Salha Al Subaiei, Reem Al Shamari, Sara Al Naimi, Lolwa Al Meghaiseeb and Galyiah Al Mohannadi from Qatar, Alaa Albarazy (Syria), Alexandrine Guerin (France), Surabhi Gaikwad (India), Khalid Alarabi (Sudan), Reham Mohamed (Sudan), Naima Al Majdobah (Jordan), John Vendetti (Canada), Fae Siddiqui (Pakistan), Natalia Mejia (Colombia), and Nada Elkharashi (Egypt).
QM has encouraged visitors to experience Portals in Flux before it closes, to witness how the AIR program continues to nurture and showcase Qatar’s vibrant artistic talent firsthand.
