Four Qatari artists have teamed up with four art students from the UK’s renowned Slade School of Fine Art as part of the Qatar UK 2013 Year of Culture and the Qatar UK Artist’s Exchange Residency programme.
The programme, managed by Doha-based Ben Barbour, will be hosted at Katara Cultural Village. It will conclude on November 16.
The Qatari artists taking part are Shaymaa Alyafey, Ameera al-Aji, Ahmed Nooh and Ali al-Mullah. They have honed their skills at Katara’s artistic residency and educational programmes under the supervision of Sa’id Costa, curator of Visual Arts Exhibitions & Educational Programmes.
The UK students, Hannah Shin, Jennifer Martin, Robert Crosse and Zoe Schoenherr, will be paired with their Qatari peers to create art together over the coming month, which will be on display at Katara later in the year.
“We look forward to this artistic collaboration and are excited to see their joint work showcased later in the year,” said Costa.
Martin Hope, director, British Council Qatar said the Artists’ Exchange Residency embodies what the Qatar UK 2013 Year of Culture strives for.
“It creates lasting partnerships between institutions and individuals and it sparks an international exchange of culture and ideas,” he added.
