SUMMARY:Mapping Migration Memories Exhibition at Company House
DESCRIPTION:“Mapping Migration Memories”\, an exhibition by (IN)>Tangible Lab\, will open to the public at Company House in Msheireb Downtown Doha on Wednesday\, November 22. \n“Mapping Migration Memories” is the result of a multi-year research project developed by (IN)>Tangible Lab\, which is part of our Institute for Creative Research. \nGathering and using existing archived and recorded memories\, photos\, films and oral histories\, the exhibition captures the historical biannual nomadic movements between the desert and the sea in Qatar. \nEmbarking on two expeditions to the desert\, the artwork re-enacts migrations in the North and South\, and documents their real locations and soundscapes. \n“Mapping Migration Memories” emphasizes the importance of intangible practices and oral traditions so often lost in rapidly developing societies\, and acts as a testament to the passing down of generational knowledge and human perseverance. \nCompany House\, which is hosting the exhibition\, encapsulates several of the themes explored in “Mapping Migration Memories”. It serves as a dedicated space for preserving the oral histories of Qatari pioneers while spotlighting the enduring significance of indigenous knowledge in shaping the development of modern Qatar. \n“Mapping Migration Memories” is free and open to the public. No registration is required.\nIt will run from November 22 to January 27. \n(IN)>Tangible Lab’s aim is to capture and physically translate the vibrantly diverse intangible cultural heritage within Qatar through interdisciplinary lenses. The research and design cluster brings together designers\, artists\, cultural scholars\, scientists\, and museum curators from VCU Richmond\, partner institutions within Education City as well as relevant external collaborators and researchers.

SUMMARY:Searching For Light – A Retrospective
DESCRIPTION:Peter Sanders is one of the pre-eminent photographers of the Muslim world. For more than 55 years\, he has built a vast archive reflecting a rich traditional civilization filled with warmth\, humanity and compassion. \nHe began his career in the mid 1960s as one of London’s leading rock and roll photographers\, and his images of Jimi Hendrix\, Bob Dylan and the Rolling Stones\, among others\, are today considered classics of the period. This was a springboard which led him to his early travels throughout India and then to Morocco documenting their various faiths. In 1971 he photographed the Hajj after obtaining a unique permission for a westerner at that time. \nPeter’s physical journey ran in parallel with his own spiritual exploration. These journeys led him to document deeply\, the Islamic world of peoples\, architecture and geography and culture. \nThis presentation is a retrospective of Peter’s journey which reflects his search for understanding and meaning.

SUMMARY:Orientalism Demystified: Eastern insights on Western myths

SUMMARY:Project Spaces 2022 - 2023
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition program highlight the creative diversity of our community\, as well as the eclectic range of materials and approaches involved in the individual art and design disciplines. It also provides them with opportunities to present the results of their current artistic explorations\, and is intended to inspire and stimulate the creative activity of the University at large. \nA unique opportunity to display their works at key locations in the building! \nSpeculative History→Design\nOrganized by Patricia Brown and Hawa Stwodah\nFaculty\, VCUarts department of Fashion Design + Merchandising \n \nSpeculative History→Design is an exhibition from the VCUarts Richmond department of Fashion Design + Merchandising. It is on view from August 28 to September 22\, 2022. This project incorporates the work of six junior-level fashion design students\, gleaned from three studio classes and based on one overarching design prompt. The project invited critics from Los Angeles-based Novawear’s Global Citizens\, a design think tank\, platform\, and brand for progressive change via design and social activism that champions inclusivity and diversity. The critics gave insight and suggestions on the brief\, design development\, and final presentation. \nThe students studied Anthony Dunne and Fiona Raby’s speculative design theories and were challenged to imagine a specific time or event in history as though it happened differently or not at all\, and how that alternate history would impact everything\, including material culture. Students designed garments within their chosen concepts using an approach that reconsidered the traditionally binary gender constructs of male and female. \nClasses involved in this project included Junior Design Theory and Illustration II\, Cut and Sew Knits Design\, and Menswear Design. Each student crafted a unique sartorial solution to the design problem through research\, experimentation\, hand and computer drawings\, patterning\, and the construction of three-dimensional garments. Through intentional design and storytelling\, the students rendered speculative realities visible. Each garment represents a hopeful history or reconsideration of actuality: thriving peoples who were never colonized\, a place where paganism dominated the spiritual landscape\, and apparel that centers the medical needs of the individual\, to name a few. Bringing materiality to “what if” considerations\, this exercise in narrative garment-making points to the power of speculative design while demonstrating the interwoven nature of clothing and history. \nParticipating Artists:\nSarah Dickens\nMiguel George\nAriana Monterrosa\nDiamond Wilson\nVictoria Woodward\nClaire Woolfall \nLocation: Saffron Hall\, VCUarts Qatar \n__________________________________________________________________________________ \nGenesis\nBy the VCUarts Qatar FabLab team \n \nGenesis is an exhibition by the VCUarts Qatar FabLab team that showcases the potential and advanced skills of the team and facilities. \nAll the pieces exhibited in Genesis shine a light on how making can influence the design process during all the stages of development\, rather than focusing solely on the final outcome. \nAdditive and subtractive fabrication methods\, including the CNC\, laser cutters\, 3D printers\, and inkjets printers\, were used\, displaying the endless possibilities of utilizing VCUarts Qatar’s FabLab facilities. \nParticipants:\nDana El Ladki\nHagar Allam\nHala Amer\nSaga ElKabbash \nLocation: Glass Display on the Ground Floor\, VCUarts Qatar \n__________________________________________________________________________________ \nRelocation: the Deconstruction and Reconstruction of Home\nBy Charlotte Rodenberg \n \n“This work is a direct response to my relocation to Qatar from the United States. Upon moving here\, I began to question my inherent idea of what home looks like. I became interested in the blocky\, geometric villas (houses) in my compound (neighborhood). While I experienced feelings of dislocation\, I found peace in the golden sunsets and cool shadows cast upon the landscape at sunrise and sunset. My sketchbook practice became a way of observing and reflecting on these new surroundings\, recording the way light reflected upon the villas. These drawings became the foundation for this series of screenprints. \n“The meditative act of printmaking\, in this experimental style\, allowed me to reflect on the imagery and build each composition organically. Each print is a monotype (unique print) using a set of silkscreen matrices\, allowing me to further explore color\, line\, form and composition. The act of deconstructing and reconstructing the home image became a metaphorical and literal act of assimilation. \n“As an artist\, my practice has always provided me with a sense of identity. Previously\, while living in Virginia\, my work was a reflection of national and local politics. After arriving in Qatar\, it was important for me to begin a new body of work which documented my life as an expat in order to adapt and find purpose here. Through this process of drawing\, printing\, deconstruction and reconstruction\, I processed my location and changing ideological understanding of home. \n“This reflection on home created a therapeutic foundation to stand\, allowed me to establish myself as a local artist and find necessary purpose. The studios at VCUarts Qatar provided me with the essential time\, space and community to make myself feel at home. My practice has allowed me to process emotions\, adapt and assimilate to expat life.” \nLocation: Library Project Space\, VCUarts Qatar

SUMMARY:Research Retreat\, 2022
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe Office of Research at Virginia Commonwealth University School of the Arts in Qatar  (VCUarts Qatar) – a Qatar Foundation partner university – organized a two-day Research Retreat\, at the W Hotel. \nThe principal goal of the retreat was to strengthen institutional support for increased and continued success of Research Lab activities\, objectives\, and impacts. \nThis was the first time that the University had arranged an intensive retreat exclusively for faculty engaged in research in creative practice. The retreat was attended by VCUarts Qatar’s Dean Amir Berbić\, as well the directors and chairs of various academic and non-academic departments at the University. \nDay one saw the University’s many Research Labs – Sonic Jeel\, Nanotechnology and Textiles\, Boost Lab\, Multi-modal Mathematics\, TypeAraby\, Water With Water\, X-Labs\, and DatLab – each make a presentation showcasing the scope\, goals and objectives of their research; activities and outcomes to date; contributions; and current and potential impact within creative practice\, the classroom\, and the wider community. \nDuring the second day\, attendees took part in an Interdisciplinary Collaboration Workshop conducted by the Alliance For The Arts In Research In Universities (a 2 ru). Based in the US\, A2RU fosters and champions the role of the arts\, design\, and arts integration in higher education. Maryrose Flanigan\, Executive Director\, and Veronica Dittman Stanich\, Research Program Manager\, from a 2 ru\, conducted the workshops. \nThis workshop addressed key challenges in interdisciplinary collaborations. Through interactive activities\, participants explored approaches and processes to effectively capitalize on collaborative opportunities through a series of targeted activities. They discussed tools to identify\, articulate\, and optimize research impacts in the creative disciplines. They also examined strategic approaches to research dissemination driven by their research aims.

SUMMARY:What is Home to You?
DESCRIPTION:An architect by profession\, Hafez’s artwork was triggered by his inability to return to Syria during his architecture training in the US because of visa issues. Homesick\, he began making models of his beloved homeland to provide an outlet for his emotions. \nThe upcoming exhibition reflects the political turmoil in the Middle East through the compilation of found objects\, paint and scrap metal. Hafez creates photorealistic\, three-dimensional scenes that architecturally represent the urban fabric of the Middle East and serve as backdrops for political and social expression; promoting a global awareness about the ongoing Syrian conflict. \nHafez’s artwork has recently been featured in several highly acclaimed exhibitions and profiled on National Public Radio\, The New York Times\, The Guardian\, and The New Yorker. \nVisitors can schedule tours during the University’s working hours by clicking on this link https://www.eventbrite.com/e/what-is-home-to-you-a-solo-exhibition-by-mohamad-hafez-project-spaces-tickets-244303086107 \nFind out more about this exhibition at this link https://gallery.qatar.vcu.edu/what-is-home-to-you/

SUMMARY:Wear The Right Thing
DESCRIPTION:Does wearing a tracksuit nowadays define one’s origins and generation or give others an idea of how one envisions the world? From Mark Zuckerberg wearing a hoodie in 2012 for a meeting with Facebook investors\, through Run DMC removing their Adidas shoelaces in solidarity with prison inmates\, to French rappers wearing low cost brands – streetwear these days seems to have regained its political and social edge\, overcoming its bling era. It has emerged as a more hybrid movement\, embracing the post-gender revolution with its unisex metamorphosis\, completely embedded in the universal youth culture\, and the struggles of our times. \nThe “Wear the Right Thing” exhibition translates this notion into contemporary art through the lens of three artists from different generations\, Jamel Shabazz\, Mohamed Bourouissa and Sara Sadik\, all of whom show\, preserve and document the culture and style of diverse communities.  As part of this exhibition\, the designs from Balenciaga and pieces from private collectors materialize and add to the spirit of freedom and irreverence of streetwear. \nJulie Boukobza is a curator and art critic based in Paris and Arles\, in charge of the LUMA Arles Residency Program. Ali Khan is Associate Professor at the Fashion Design Department at VCUarts Qatar. \nSeptember 15 to October 23\, 2021\nFree and open to the public\nThe Gallery at VCUarts Qatar\nhttps://gallery.qatar.vcu.edu  \nMain image – Caption:\nJamel Shabazz\nRadio Man\nChromogenic print\n35.6 x 27.9 cm\nBrooklyn\, NYC 1980\nCourtesy of the artist and Galerie Bene Taschen

SUMMARY:Wavelength Lecture by Mohamed Bourouissa
DESCRIPTION:The Wavelength lecture series will continue on Tuesday\, April 27 at 7pm Doha time with a lecture by Mohamed Bourouissa. \nBourouissa implicitly describes contemporary society by its contours. With a critical take on the mass media image\, the subjects of his photographs and videos are people left behind at the crossroads of integration and exclusion. Preceded by a long immersion phase\, each of Bourouissa’s projects builds a new enunciation situation. Unlike false simplistic media constructions\, the artist reintroduces complexity into the representation of the margins of hypervisibility. \nHis work has been exhibited in numerous solo exhibitions\, at the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris\, the Centre Pompidou de Paris\, the Barnes Foundation\, Philadelphia\, the Stedelijk Museum\, Amsterdam\, the base in Frankfurt am Main\, the Ball\, Paris\, the Haus der Kunst\, Munich and the FRAC Franche-Comté in Besançon. He has participated in the Sharjah\, Havana\, Lyon\, Venice\, Algiers\, Liverpool and Berlin Biennales and the Milan Triennial. \nIn 2018\, he was nominated for the Marcel Duchamp Prize. In 2017\, he was selected for the Prix Pictet photography prize. His works belong to leading collections\, including that of the LACMA in Los Angeles\, the Centre Pompidou\, the Maison européenne de la photographie in Paris\, and the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam. \nRegister now at https://icavcu.org/events/wavelength-mohamed-bourouissa/

SUMMARY:Wavelength Lecture by Tarek Atoui
DESCRIPTION:Composer and artist Tarek Atoui will be giving the latest talk in the Wavelength lecture series. \nIt will take place on March 30 at 7pm Doha time. \nOcula magazine recently described the Paris-based sound artist and composer’s oeuvre as sitting “at the cusp of redefining the language of visual and performing arts and challenging contemporary sound production.” \nAtoui comprehensively exploits the potential of sound art\, which lies at the heart of his practice. He is not only interested in how audio events or sounds develop an acoustic effect. Equally important to him is how these phenomena can be perceived with sensory organs other than the ear\, how they act as a catalyst for human interaction\, and how they relate to social\, historical\, or spatial parameters. The point of departure for his works is usually extensive anthropological\, ethnological\, musicological\, or technical research\, which results in the realization of instruments\, listening rooms\, performances\, or workshops. \nAtoui has presented his work internationally at the Sharjah Biennial in the United Arab Emirates (2009 and 2013); dOCUMENTA 13 in Kassel\, Germany (2012); the 8th Berlin Biennial (2014); Tate Modern\, London (2016); CCA NTU\, Singapore (2017); Garage Moscow (2018); the 58th International Art Exhibition of la Biennale di Venezia (2019)\, the Okayama Art Summit 2019\, The Fridericianum (2020).  He was appointed co-artistic director of STEIM studios in 2007\, and of the Bergen Assembly\, a triennial for contemporary art in Norway in 2016. \nRegister now at https://icavcu.org/events/wavelength-tarek-atoui/ \nWavelength is an online lecture series that is a collaboration between VCUarts\, the ICA\, and VCUarts Qatar. A dynamic group of artists\, designers\, curators and scholars have been invited to share their work with the VCU communities in Richmond and Doha as well as the general public throughout the 2020–21 academic year.
