Fanoon Artist Talks

Mathaf: Arab Museum of Modern Art, in collaboration with VCUarts Qatar, presents Fanoon (Arabic for ‘arts’), a new public lecture series and university seminar bringing internationally renowned artists into dialogue with audiences and students in Doha.

The series features four distinct research-led practices: Rayyane Tabet’s work with archives and the built environment; Bahar Noorizadeh’s exploration of digital and financial infrastructures; Shuddhabrata Sengupta’s practice of collective knowledge production with Raqs Media Collective; and Sandi Hilal and Alessandro Petti’s decolonial spatial practice with Decolonizing Architecture Art Research (DAAR). The public lecture series is presented in partnership with Qatar Creates Talks, expanding opportunities for audiences in Doha to engage with international artists, ideas and contemporary creative practice.

Each participating artist will deliver a public lecture at Mathaf’s Makan Auditorium. The lectures are free and open to all, offering audiences a unique opportunity to engage with the artists’ research, methodologies, and wider fields of inquiry.
