Unruly Waters spans ALRIWAQ Art + Architecture and the Museum of Islamic Art, bringing together more than 50 artists and more than 20 new commissions. The exhibition uses water to explore Qatar’s connections with Asia and beyond. Its themes link geography and ecology with history and human activity.
The programme also includes Our Common Currents at Katara QM Gallery and Seething Sea at Mathaf: Arab Museum of Modern Art. Together, these exhibitions offer several stops for visitors interested in contemporary art, while public art unveilings and performances extend the programme beyond the gallery exhibitions.
