Watering the Desert | Contemporary Art from Qatar showcases a diverse and vibrant collection of multidisciplinary art projects that beautifully capture the essence of the current artistic landscape in Qatar.

Curated by Issa Al Shirawi and Maryam Hassan Al Thani from Qatar Museums in partnership with Yuz Museum, the exhibition is thoughtfully presented around four interconnected themes that provide a deeper insight into the cultural richness and complexity of contemporary art in the region. These themes include Recollections: Qatari Tradition and Practices, Reflections on Society, Urban Transformations and Environment as Medium.
