    A teenage loner and talented musician is bullied by his peers. A man loses his savings; his wife is a victim of identity theft. A journalist puts her interview subject in danger. And all of this happens online. The Internet now connects millions of us to each other at the mere click of a mouse but what happens if those connections dont turn out the way we predict they will? Disconnect takes a look at the underside of the Internet, wondering what might be the consequences of sharing too much about ourselves with people we dont know enough about.

    Qatar Visual Arts Center presents a new experience of works through the Omani Artist Moosa Omar and with the participation Qatari Artists Hassan El-Mulla and Maryem Al-Moussa considered as a tribute to the artist in a new and unique experience to be a surprise in the exhibition

    about his artistic experience, Moussa Omar stated: In my opinion,

    art is not only a means and a tool to express and communicate with other; I see inside that invisible and irrepressible inherent force in the Spirit that makes a world parallel to the reality and crossed at the same time. So I triumphed to use the code in many of my works, due to my deep faith of the vast expressive space similar to the heavens dimension, where I can fly like a mythical bird with thousand wings.

    Katara Cultural Village Foundation is presenting an exhibition with 13 large sized Portraits by Harding Meyer. Portrait Paintings are the artists trademark. The Katara Curatorial team has selected the artist to exhibit his work at the Cultural Village Foundation Art Galleries, and to be an artist in residence at the Katara Art Studios, where he will be directing portrait painting workshops with artists based in Qatar, and engaging with Qatari artists.

    Harding Meyers work is extremely engaging and draws the spectator into its subjects faces and lives through the eyes. It is said that the eyes are the windows to the soul; this popular saying is very well illustrated in the artists work. When first admiring one of Hardings paintings the first thing the spectator realizes are the eyes and how deep they manage to involve us in a matter of seconds.

    The subjects selected for the portrait paintings might be chosen at random, or on a very informal manner, but the depiction of the subjects is always very focused and intimate, Harding Meyer paints them Eye to Eye and manages to captivate and glimpse into the soul of every subject he paints.Today, Harding Meyer lives and works near Karlsruhe, Germany.

    Moudhi Al Hajri is one of the most interesting Qatari photographers today, her drive and passion for photography as a form of art, and as a medium that allows her to engage with the world she inhabits, is heartfelt and deep. Her photography is extremely compelling and she does not have a style as such, she transcends these classifications and uses her camera to engage with the world at large and its peoples, in many cases even to give them a voice.

    My Journeys Through Yemen is an exhibition attempting to share with the Qatari audience Moudhi Al Hajri 6 year very personal involvement with Yemen as a country and its people. The works exhibited share with us Moudhis journeys through Yemen from 2007 to 2013. Visitors are going to be able to grasp the magnitude of this photographers dedication to Yemen and its people through the breathtaking scope and extension of the work exhibited, both conceptually and geographically.

    There are very few geographic areas in Yemen that Moudhi has not visited with her most faithful supporter and journey companion, her husband. Moudhi had to negotiate with local, self-proclaimed defense groups, with the official government of Yemen, with authorities and entities, with tribal leaders, rebel leaders, etc All efforts were undertaken by this extremely driven and dedicated

    Qatari photographer in order to allow her to fulfill her ambition to show the world how beautiful Yemen and its people are.

    Themes on this exhibition are varied; they range from Architecture to Anthropological and Ethnographic, Social and Cultural aspects. The visitor will feel immersed in a Yemen that very little people know, ever heard of, and that very few people know it exists in its current depiction in the My Journeys Through Yemen exhibition.

    Extensive and ambitious as the exhibition is, with over 200 photographs on display, very meticulously accompanied with maps and captions supporting the reading of the exhibition by the audience, the current exhibition is just a pause in the current project, its a make a balance exhibition, because the project is still ongoing, and having worked in the curation of this exhibition with the artist during the last year, Moudhi Al Hajfri is already talking about her next trips, and inviting me to her Journeys Through Yemen!

    My Journeys Through Yemen is an ongoing Moudhi Al Hajri project and Katara is very proud to be associated with it and invites all our audience to take the journey with us at the exhibition.

    Faraj Daham and Mohammed Abu Al-Naja are two artists based in Doha. Faraj is a Qatari artist and a pillar in the Doha art panorama, an artist full of energy and with a unique viewpoint over his home city, Doha. Abu Al-Naja is an Egyptian artist working in Doha as a curator also, a man with enormous sensibility and with a nostalgic and endearing regard over his home-town city, Cairo. The city encompasses both a human physicality, and a cultural point of view which we might adopt to explain certain unexpected phenomena such as the dominance of established principles and a way of life which organizes relations between people in accordance with changing ideas, trends and behaviors, something that cannot be detached from the cultural diversity within in the city. There is an infinite variety from one person to the next, while all compete to turn their dreams into reality, or as Shakespeare put it in the Tempest, in the words of Prospero, We are such stuff as dreams are made on. Indeed, we are also the architects and builders of those dreams, and the spectators who look on as they are built. As we thereby act to turn our hopes and desires into reality, our aspirations become distorted, as does the very image of the person within us. Faraj looks at Doha and through his artistic, practice conveys to us a series of dreams, aspirations, anxieties and simple recorded memories sent from Doha, to another home city, by the workers

    that day in and day out erect the buildings we soon will inhabit and populate with other dreams, aspirations and anxieties. Faraj uses for the artwork exhibited the artifice of the postcard to convey the simple, but deeply felt a dilemma every worker, and in fact, every expat living in Doha, has to deal with daily. How can we carry 2 cities in our hearts and heads? There are no terminal answers for this question, but throughout the works in exhibition, we can have an insight into what Faraj Daham feels and thinks of this dilemma. There is definably a deep feeling of empathy with the workers and their realities. There is definitely a great attempt to understand and connect with people. Mohammed Abu al-Naja evokes his city Cairos 25th January revolution: an event which filled its squares with every conceivable kind of initiative in defiance of fear and hegemony. In his eyes, his city has had a complete facelift; its features changed beyond all recognition, coloured by the constant motion that eludes any expectations or categorization. The city remains out of focus, a body under tension, its concerns and dreams weighing heavily on its shoulders. Abu al-Naja pictures it as two men shoulder to shoulder, united by the bundles of hay both carry on their shoulders. As these merge into one shared burden, their bodies form one thick-set tree, heavy with its parched branches.

    Designed to Win celebrates the ways in which design and sport are combined, pushing the limits of human endeavor to achieve records and victories of increasing significance and wonder. The exhibition explores the various ways in which design has shaped the sporting world, celebrating the introduction of revolutionary new materials such as Neoprene and carbon fibre, new technologies, fashions and sporting equipment, all of which have transformed sporting enterprise.

    Designed to Win demonstrates the process of designing sporting equipment and its various influences, including material innovations, sporting constraints, nature and science. With new innovations and continued refinement, athletes have become faster, stronger and fitter, in turn beyond the sporting arena and now encompassing areas as diverse as fashion, advertising, art, film, design, business and politics. The exhibition explores key moments where design has played a significant role in progressing sport and looks at themes of safety, performance and examples where sporting bodies have intervened to limit the effects of technological doping where new equipment is deemed to give some athletes an unfair advantage over others. By examining celebrated sporting moments and the sense of shared celebration and spectacle, the exhibition will look at not just how design can influence sport but also how sport has influenced design, art and culture. Design to win also looks at how design has revolutionized sports opportunities for people with physical.
