Katara, QAIC open ‘Women of Pandemic’ exhibition

Doha: The Qatar America Institute for Culture (QAIC) recently opened its “Women of the Pandemic” exhibition hosted at its headquarters in Washington, DC. 

Launched in partnership with the Katara Cultural Village in Qatar, the exhibition features the art of four American female artists and four Qatari female artists whose works reflect their resilience and artistic ambitions during a time of major adversity, which tested the creative communities worldwide.

With public gatherings slowly resuming, the reception at QAIC provided the opportunity to formally recognise the impact of these works, the artists behind them, and the supporters who made it possible, like ConocoPhillips and the Embassy of Qatar in Washington, DC. The attendees represented DC’s diverse landscape, including leaders from museums, art galleries, and cultural institutions.  The guests had the opportunity to view the curated works on display after several months of “Women of the Pandemic” being solely a virtual viewing experience.
