Explore the notion of home through the eyes of 17 artists who took part in the Artist in Residence programme in 2023-2024.
This exhibition delves into the notion of a home within the contemporary realm and raises questions about identity and belonging through the eyes of 17 artists who took part in the Artist in Residence programme at the Doha Fire Station in the years 2023-2024.
Here, the artists share rich and diverse narratives and emotions centred around three main themes: environmental, social and cultural explorations. There is a direct link between one’s identity and the concept of urban identity as they revolve around a person’s relationship with their environment, space and its elements and the interaction between the components. On a deeper level, the environment also symbolises the social relationships and feelings that connect people to buildings, streets, and trees.
A House Overlooking the World showcases artworks emanating from the artists’ constant search either within themselves or the environment and society around them, and is a metaphor reflecting on finding a sense of self in a fast-changing world.
