Doha, Qatar: The Qatar Blueprint, a comprehensive initiative aimed at national development, extends beyond the walls of museums and the cultural sector, encompassing the entire country.
This was said by Fatma Ibrahim Al Sehlawi, Co-Founder of Atlas Bookstore, Studio Imara and leading the Qatar Blueprint project at the Office of H E Chairperson of Qatar Museums during the latest episode of “The Power of Culture” podcast hosted by Qatar Museums Chairperson, H E Sheikha Al Mayassa bint Hamad Al Thani.
Al Sehlawi stressed that the blueprint encompasses the entirety of Qatar, inviting diverse entities to collaborate on national development initiatives.
“We’re not only doing this for museums or the cultural sector. We’re actually looking at the country as a whole, the map of Qatar, and not specific areas that are designated to Qatar Museums. So, it’s going to be a very interesting moment where everyone will have time again to think, brainstorm and discuss before we sort of start running and delivering and executing.”
“And it’s very important that we do this with the different entities in the country, from the public sector, private sector, who have now become very interested in working with us and have started to understand that what we want to do is beyond just looking within the walls of our museums.”
