Msheireb Museums, the four revived historic heritage houses in the heart of Msheireb Downtown Doha, is hosting a photography exhibition titled ‘Reflections from Msheireb’ in collaboration with Qatar Photographic Society.
This community-led exhibition, which started on Wednesday at Mohammed Bin Jassim House, highlights the amazing results of a series of photography workshops conducted in Msheireb Museums earlier.
The exhibition unveils Msheireb from the standpoint of photographers who come from different backgrounds and cultures, and who have all participated in the month-long workshops.
Abdulla al Naama, public programmes manager, said: "We pride ourselves in being a social history museum. We observe, document and encourage social development. In that sense, we are always happy to support national community initiatives that enrich the cultural dialogue.”
"Collaborating with the Qatar Photographic Society on these workshops and hosting an exhibit of the participants’ works is our way of nurturing local talent. We invite everyone to keep an eye on our calendar of events and activities, as we will always have more educational and exciting activities suitable for all ages,” he concluded.
Qatar Photographic Society is a non-profit organisation that aims to support photographers in Qatar, provide them with guidance, promote their work, enhance their skills, and raise their awareness on how to protect it and showcase it.
Abdulrahman Obaidan Fakhro, vice-president of the society, said: "We wholeheartedly thank Msheireb Museums for their support. We have a shared vision and we do look forward for further collaborations, bringing more culturally enriching content to the people of Qatar.”
"The workshops were delivered and supervised by a suite of photography professionals, who are all experts in their own fields. They focused on photographic techniques that can be employed to highlight the past and modern Qatari architecture and design, an aspect that is perfectly captured by Msheireb Downtown Doha,” he added.
