Five Arab artists launch new solo exhibitions at Mathaf

For the next four months, the Doha-based Arab Museum of Modern Art (Mathaf) has reserved its ground floor exhibition space for solo exhibitions that showcase the work of five artists from the region.

From today until Feb. 14 next year, Focus: Works from the Mathaf Collection will feature the work of Qatar’s Faraj Daham, Lebanese artist Saloua Raouda Choucair, Egypt’s Inji Efflatoun, Farid Belkahia of Morocco and Abdulhalim Al-Radwi from Saudi Arabia.

Each artist’s work has been assembled by a different curator, and will remain part of Mathaf after the exhibition concludes.

In a statement on its website, Mathaf said: “In different ways and with different forms, these five artists have played a major part in generating ideas and inventing techniques as they, in conversation with international art movements and other geographies, make sense of their artistic, social, and political worlds.”

Entry to the exhibition is free.
