Countryside: A place to live, not to leave

Qatar Museums, in collaboration with AMO led by Samir Bantal and Rem Koolhaas – presents Countryside: A Place to Live, Not to Leave, a groundbreaking exhibition that reimagines the rural landscape as a space for sustainability, innovation, and future living.   Spanning a geographic arc from Africa through the Middle East and Central Asia to China, Countryside highlights a region deeply connected by history and still home to a majority of the world’s population.Through immersive installations, critical research, and storytelling, the exhibition challenges the dominant urban narrative and invites visitors to explore how rural life can offer more humane and ecological answers to today’s global crises.Taking place at both Qatar Preparatory School and the National Museum of Qatar (NMoQ), this inspiring exhibition fosters dialogue and action across generations, imagining new futures for life beyond the city.Ramadan Opening Times (NMoQ)Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday: 9am–2pm and 8pm–midnightTuesday: ClosedFridays: 8pm–midnight Exhibition TimingsNMoQ Opening TimesSunday, Monday, Wednesday, Saturday: 9am–7pmTuesday: ClosedThursday: 9am– 9pmFriday: 1.30pm–7pmFor the latest concerts, festivals, workshops and other events, check out Qatar Living Events and stay updated on what’s happening around you.   ---Make sure to check out our social media to keep track of the latest content. Instagram - @qatarlivingX - @qatarlivingFacebook - Qatar LivingYouTube - qatarlivingofficial

Water’s Witness by Tarek Atoui

Part of Mathaf’s 15-year anniversary celebration, the exhibition explores how sound, water, and urban life intersect, forming an acoustic portrait of maritime communities across global port cities.Waters’ Witness is a sound-based installation by artist and composer Tarek Atoui, presented in the Arab region for the first time. The exhibition explores how water shapes urban life through recordings from international port cities — including Athens, Abu Dhabi, Beirut, Istanbul, Porto, Singapore, and Sydney — captured underwater and along coastal infrastructures.Through sculptural elements made of marble, metal, ceramics, and stone, Atoui transforms sound into a spatial experience, inviting visitors to listen to the social, historical, and ecological realities of harbours.Mathaf’s presentation introduces a new chapter of the project that will focus on Qatar’s coastline and communities, reflecting the museum’s evolving engagement with contemporary sound practices.Ramadan HoursSunday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday: 9am–2pm and 8pm–midnightMonday: ClosedFriday: 8pm–midnight-----For the latest concerts, festivals, workshops and other events, check out Qatar Living Events and stay updated on what’s happening around you.---Make sure to check out our social media to keep track of the latest content. Instagram - @qatarlivingX - @qatarlivingFacebook - Qatar LivingYouTube - qatarlivingofficial

Haroon Mirza: Everything was, is, and Always will be

Haroon Mirza (b. 1977) is a multidisciplinary artist celebrated for his ability to transform invisible energetic currents into immersive physical encounters.Treating electricity as a fundamental sculptural material, he reconfigures electronics, solar panels, and circuitry into autonomous systems that generate their own rhythmic soundscapes and light patterns.Spanning the Fire Station’s Gallery 3 and the Tower, Everything was, is and always will be is the first institutional solo presentation of Haroon Mirza in the GCC. The exhibition features two installations and a performance newly realized in response to the site’s architectural and daily landscape.At Gallery 3, the multimedia installation Musica Universalis (Dyson Sphere 03) (2026) references physicist Freeman Dyson’s (1923-2020) hypothetical megasphere designed to harvest a star’s energy; instead, Mirza utilizes a photovoltaic structure to draw power from an artificial light source, animating a sonic ecosystem.The synthetic energy conversion shifts back to the celestial in the Tower with Miraj Al Shams (2026), a public installation where choreographed light and sound are transduced from solar energy captured atop the building. The work activates daily at sunset to precede the Maghrib Adhan, bridging modern circuitry with cycles of prayer and cosmology.On February 4, 2026, Mirza intensifies the tension between the technological and mystical in a live context with Adam, Eve, Others and UFO in the Age of LLM’s, a performance that translates electronic signals from his original 2013 work into 111 Hz—a frequency associated with ancient spiritual resonance and neurophysiological response—realized by a live ensemble of eight singers, a soprano, and four actors and performers enacting a script centered on narratives of origin.Underlying various visual components of all three works, such as the star-shaped solar array on top of the Tower, the light fixture in Gallery 3, and images on the screen during the performance, is the recently discovered Einstein Tile: a single aperiodic shape that can tessellate a surface infinitely without ever repeating. The pattern is embedded in an octagram, a symbol of divinity across cultures. Through these intersecting geometries, Mirza questions the distinction between human perception and natural law, mirroring his stance in that music is “organized noise.” Through this lens, Mirza suggests invention not as a modern disruption, but as a perceptual shift within a continuous thread in a reality that always was, is, and will be.-----For the latest concerts, festivals, workshops and other events, check out Qatar Living Events and stay updated on what’s happening around you.---Make sure to check out our social media to keep track of the latest content. Instagram - @qatarlivingX - @qatarlivingFacebook - Qatar LivingYouTube - qatarlivingofficial

Ho Tzu Nyen: Hotel Aporia

Exhibition

Ho Tzu Nyen: Hotel Aporia

Ho Tzu Nyen (b. 1976) is an artist and filmmaker whose distinguished practice operates at the intersection of cinema, archival record, and subversive intervention. Spanning film, video, performance, and installation, his work interrogates how historical narratives are constructed and consumed within postcolonial and transnational landscapes, particularly across the shared borders of East and Southeast Asia. Hotel Aporia (2019) is a seminal multi-channel installation that exemplifies Ho’s rigorous research and haunting visual language.It functions as a philosophical impasse—an "aporia"—that zooms in on the ideological shadows of interwar Japan. The work features a cast who were complexly entangled with this period through separate trajectories: kamikaze pilots, whose internalized sacrifice was a tactic for national victory; the philosophers of the Kyoto School with conflicted views on war lesser-known than their Zen and Buddhist thoughts; and cultural figures such as filmmaker Ozu Yasujiro (1903-1963) and animation director Yokoyama Ryuichi (1909-2001), both of whom were stationed in Southeast Asia as part of the Japanese Imperial Army’s propaganda units.Originally commissioned for the Aichi Triennale, the work was first sited within Kirakutei, a Taisho-era inn where kamikaze pilots spent their final nights. Even outside its original site, the installation preserves the spectral silhouettes of this traditional architecture, utilizing Ozu’s signature "tatami shots"—a perspective filmed from near floor level—to ground the viewer in a specific psychological space.-----For the latest concerts, festivals, workshops and other events, check out Qatar Living Events and stay updated on what’s happening around you.---Make sure to check out our social media to keep track of the latest content. Instagram - @qatarlivingX - @qatarlivingFacebook - Qatar LivingYouTube - qatarlivingofficial
