Thirty years of collecting. Three decades of stories. Today at @VCUQatar, we launched Contemporary Art from Qatar: The Abdulla bin Ali Al Thani Collection, published by Skira. From traditional motifs to global contemporary dialogues, this book represents the vibrant, ever-evolving spirit of Qatari artists. It is an honor to see these works displayed in the very halls where so much of this talent was first fostered. A beautiful start to the Art Basel Qatar season.

Day 2 of @ArtBasel Qatar was the time to discover the broader art ecosystem of the booming city of Doha: - The artist Gigi of Gub Gub Studios opened for the first time to the public. Wonderful artist run space: gubgubstudios.art - Visit of a private collection exhibition at @VCUQatar, the only university in Doha dedicated to the arts & humanities - Brilliant talk by artist and @NYUAbuDhabi research scholar @saraniroobakhsh, who is working on a project called Impossible baby. “Memory is not an image it’s a building and it’s a trace” - Beautiful show at @themediamajlis museum at @NUQatar about Gulf Futurism and what does it really means
