As one of Qatar’s pioneering artists, Ebtisam Al-Saffar () has spent decades exploring the human experience through art - capturing emotions, memories, and personal transformations through her distinctive visual language.

For her, ‘Mathaf: Arab Museum of Modern Art’ () is a reflection of the generations of artists who have helped shape Qatar’s cultural landscape, from pioneering figures to emerging voices, all connected by a shared passion for creativity and cultural dialogue.

Having represented Qatar internationally, her journey continues to inspire new generations of artists to express their own stories, communities, and perspectives.

Today, we celebrate Ebtisam and her contribution to Qatar’s evolving cultural story as part of .

بصفتها واحدة من الفنانات الرائدات في قطر، كرّست ابتسام الصفار عقوداً من مسيرتها الفنية لاستكشاف التجربة الإنسانية عبر الفن، حيث عكست المشاعر والذكريات والتحولات الشخصية من خلال أسلوبها البصري المميز.

وبالنسبة لها، يُمثل المتحف العربي للفن الحديث انعكاساً للأجيال الفنية التي ساهمت في تشكيل المشهد الثقافي في قطر، من الرواد إلى الأصوات الصاعدة، والذين يجمعهم شغف مشترك بالإبداع والحوار الثقافي.

ومن خلال تمثيلها لدولة قطر في محافل فنية دولية، تواصل رحلتها إلهام أجيال جديدة من الفنانين للتعبير عن قصصهم ومجتمعاتهم ورؤاهم الخاصة.

نحتفي اليوم ضمن بابتسام الصفار وإسهاماتها في مسيرة الثقافة المتواصلة لقطر.

Building cultural institutions goes beyond preserving the past. It is about carrying heritage forward and creating the conditions for culture, talent, and new ideas to take shape.

This International Museum Day, we celebrate Mohammed Al Rumaihi, Chief Executive Officer of Qatar Museums, who has helped protect Qatar’s heritage, keep its stories visible, and strengthen a cultural ecosystem where creative talent can find its place and grow.

His recent election as President of ICOM Arab for the 2025–2028 term reflects Qatar’s growing role in the museum landscape and the importance of cultural institutions in carrying heritage forward.

Today, Mohammed Al Rumaihi is celebrated as part of ✨

What happens when an artist invites other artists?
‘untitled 2026 (a gathering of remarkable people)’

Hear it from the artist himself, Rirkrit Tiravanija, and co-curators Tom Eccles and Ruba Katrib, who brought this vision to life at Qatar’s National Pavilion at the 61st 🇮🇹

A space rooted in the oldest instinct we know - to gather, to share, to welcome. Where hospitality is the art form and the invitation never closes.

Presented by in collaboration with . On now until 22 November 2026.

At di Venezia, the National Pavilion of Qatar opens a space shaped less by spectacle and more by presence - where conversation, sound, food, and performance come together as part of a shared cultural experience.

Rooted in the idea of the majlis, ‘untitled 2026 (a gathering of remarkable people)’ reflects a broader movement across the region: one where contemporary Arab culture is not confined to a single discipline, geography, or voice, but continuously evolving through collaboration and exchange.

More than a presentation, the pavilion offers a living reflection of how culture is experienced today - collectively, openly, and in real time.

When the world shifts, artists don’t stop creating. They start paying closer attention to the details.

Growing up in Doha, visual documentation became Rajaa’s way of holding onto the city as it grew with her, capturing the people, places, and moments we often pass by, until they become memories.

Her lens holds onto the parts of Doha we might miss one day🤍

What stayed from Qatar wasn’t just how art brings people together, but how it lived across every part of the experience.

Designed by Bouthayna Al Muftah () in collaboration with .qa, the official Art Basel Qatar uniform became part of that, moving through the space, carried by real people.

Drawing from her installation, the designs reimagined the traditional thobe and daraa. Rooted in elements of local culture and shaped through a contemporary lens, the piece reflected how Qatar brings local perspectives into a wider, global conversation, not held apart, but lived as a shared experience.

We talk a lot about gathering, but rarely about what actually shapes it.

During Routes & Roots at .qa’s Experimental Lab, Aisha Erkin () rethinks the sufra as a living system that continues to evolve. A way of sitting, sharing, and sustaining that shifts with the people around it.

Seating becomes a way to think, to remember, to reconnect. Add a chair. Add a pillow. Keep extending the space.

Because sometimes what we build isn’t just a place to sit, but a space people can return to and feel part of.
