Artifacts, Spaces, and Environments as Subtle Rituals – Metaphors – Sensory Stimulants - Emotive Embodiments 

The work, which has been realized over the past decade or so, transcends, or smudges the partitions of usual categories, separating the common classifications defining the various forms of design & art practice (architecture, interior design, product design, sculpture).

In a growing art world, creative processes and challenges faced by artists are often neglected. This exhibition highlights these challenges and investigates the concept of Time through different themes. Memory, identity, experimentation and non-linearity are highlighted by Mashael Al-Hejazi’s complex printing processes and documentation of old Doha neighborhoods, Jasser Alagha’s explorations of TKC’s -Third Culture Kids- collective memory, Latifa Al-Kuwari’s studies of the nature of time, and limitless variations created through embracing errors and experimentation by Hind Al Saad.

This three-part workshop will use innovative models to design a sustainable future city, that is inclusive of creativity and culture. It will be led by architect Maureen Ferry as part of a year-long global pilot of her “UrbanEngineers” programme.

The workshop outcomes will be:
-      Day 1: Learn new design models about cities that incorporates the natural, cultural and built environments.
-      Day 2: Develop ideas about what creative and resilient city can be.
-      Day 3: Design and build a scaled city model and invent a product for that city.
