The National Museum of Qatar (NMoQ) has launched an exciting range of public programmes based on the theme of Qatar and the Sea.
Consisting of interactive talks, workshops for young people and families, special events and community activities, the extensive programme shines a spotlight on the richness of Qatar’s natural setting.
Organised as part of NMoQ’s efforts to become a key cultural pillar within the community, the series of events brings together local experts and members of NMoQ’s teams and other educational organisations to explore new themes every month.
Some of the public workshops due to be held next week include Book club Series, the first of which is titled ‘Al Qursan/The Corsair’ by author Abdulaziz al Mahmoud to be held on Wednesday, April 17 from 4pm to 6pm at NMoQ’s Mohammed Jassim AlKhulaifi Library. The book is an action-packed story of high-seas piracy and political intrigue of unexpected kinship and historical events in the Arabian Peninsula. Discussion of the book will be led by author Essa Abdullah.
For adults’ creative workshops, the first is titled ‘A Colour Chart of the Sea’. It will follow in the footsteps of traditional artists and allow participants to create their own colours by mixing different pigments from natural sources.
Participants will be encouraged to use their own visual experiences and memories of the sea as a starting point to create a beautiful colour chart.
The workshop will take place on Wednesday, April 17 from 5pm to 7pm at the NMoQ Learning Studio.
The second workshop titled ‘Marbling Workshop Interactive Painting’ will take place on Wednesday, April 24 from 5pm 7pm in the NMoQ Learning Studio. The aim of this workshop is to teach participants to observe the natural world around them, particularly the waves and wind, to create expressive artwork through paper marbling techniques.
Culture Club Talks will be presented by Dr Ferhan Sakal, from QM’s Archaeology Department, on the title ‘The Foundations of Doha’ to discuss the Joint Old Doha Rescue Excavation initiative, organised in collaboration with UCL Qatar.
