Students Create a Ramadan Feast – Out of Paper

The collaborative culinary display is exhibited at Mathaf: Arab Museum of Modern Art, until April 10

This Ramadan buffet is a feast for the eyes. In every sense.

Forty Art Foundation students studying at VCUarts Qatar each contributed a dish for an iftar, made entirely out of paper!

The ‘Ramadan Feast’ is on display in the main foyer of Mathaf: Arab Museum of Modern Art, in Education City until April 10. Please check Mathaf’s website for Ramadan timings.

The collaborative sculpture was the culmination of a class project in their Surface and Space Research Studios module, part of their Art Foundation year. At its core, it presents a project of material exploration, highlighting the idea that a collection of individual creations can form a cohesive whole greater than the sum of its parts—a moment captured at a Ramadan sunset.

The module is taught by Art Foundation Associate Professors Nathan Davis and Maysaa Almumin, along with Teaching Assistants Amira Mohamed and Karmina Asaad.
