Art Worlds: Qatar
-
Narrated by:

By:
Series 5 begins with Wael Shawky, an artist best known for his epic, narrative films that explore and toy with common ideas about history. Whether using puppets or people for his cast, his work looks beyond the historical canon and brings to the fore lesser known events from the past.
Extending his artistic practice, Wael founded and ran MASS, an independent educational space in Egypt’s Alexandria. Since 2024, he has been the artistic director of Fire Station, a creative residency space in Doha and last year was named the inaugural artistic director of Art Basel’s first art fair in Qatar.
Wael spoke to me from his Doha office just ahead of the fair’s launch.
