A photography exhibition with a unique concept is taking place at The Torch Doha. Bosco Menezes, a prolific photographer is showcasing a compilation of portraits, mainly of children expressing their support to the Amir His Highness Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al Thani and Qatar, during the blockade.
The exhibition, which opened at the hotel lobby from June 2, will be open for the public for one month, from 5pm until 12am.
Marking one year of the blockade, Qatar has witnessed an unprecedented support from locals and expatriates alike. In recognition of this fact, coming from people of all background and ages, the photos are of children parading in the famous Ramadan car parade along the Corniche. The unique element of this exhibition is that the photographer has pledged to give each of the photograph prints to the families of the children he captured at the Corniche, once they attend the exhibition and identify themselves. Parents are welcome to collect their children's photos at no charge and the prints will be given upon communication with the photographer.
Bosco Menezes, hailing from Goa, India, grew up as a permanent resident of Qatar. With over 20 years of experience in the marketing and media field, Bosco is a communications professional with a keen eye for photography. He recently launched his own brand of social media activation / photography called Big B fotografi (#bigbfotografi). He is one of the first photographers to document and interview Ahmed al Madheed, the Qatari artist who created the world-famous 'Tamim Al Majd'.
Menezes loves taking candid pictures with a passion for nature, wildlife and architecture, having also covered major sporting events over the past 10 years, varying from the 2006 Doha Asian Games, the 2010 IAAF Doha Indoor Athletics to the AFC Cup and most recently documenting the various murals across Qatar during the early days of the blockade.
