Revolving Rooms

Revolving Rooms is an exhibition that celebrates the individual voices and artistic expressions of contemporary artists in Qatar. The title of the exhibition, دار المدار (Revolving Rooms), reflects the curatorial ethos of Wusum Gallery’s inaugural exhibition. 'دار,' meaning room in Arabic, represents the unique spaces that artists are given and inhabit to create their work. These rooms symbolise the importance of providing not only physical spaces, but also psychological, to cultivate personal freedom, creativity, and self-discovery within artistic practices. 'المدار,' meaning revolving, represents the movement that mirrors one's experience of evolving. Much like celestial bodies that orbit, artists move through realms of inspiration, imagination, and introspection, forging new paths and narratives within their creative practice.
