The third edition of the Tasweer Photo Festival Qatar, a biennial of exhibitions, awards, presentations, and workshops that amplify the diverse practices of photographers and photographic communities in Qatar and the West Asia and North Africa (WANA) region, is part of Qatar Museums' spring 2025 exhibitions program.
Six exhibitions will be on display in Doha's museums, galleries, and outdoor spaces.
The Fire Station: Artist in Residence will host the festival's centerpiece installation, To Look at the Sea is to Become What One Is, which was organized by Tasweer's artistic director, Meriem Berrada.
The first extensive display of Latin American art in the WANA region will take place at the Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires (Malba) and Eduardo F. Costantini Collections. Through the works of important painters from 1900 to the present, the exhibition at the National Museum of Qatar offers a broad overview of the cultural output of the continent.
Other highlights of the program include Wafa al-Hamad: Sites of Imagination, the pioneering late artist's first solo museum exhibition, which features pieces from the Mathaf Permanent Collection, and Qatar: Close to my Soul, Art from the Collection of Abdulla bin Ali Al Thani, a survey exhibition of works by Qatari artists from various generations offering multiple artistic styles and trends.
The Arab Museum of Modern Art's Mathaf will host both exhibitions.
