  • Modernity, Wahhabi Islam and Monarchial Power in Qatar
    MODERNITY, WAHHABI ISLAM, AND MONARCHIAL POWER IN QATAR EXHIBITED IN ITS CONTEMPORARY ART ____________ A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of California State University Dominguez Hills ____________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in Humanities ____________ by Christine Crane Fall 2017 This thesis is dedicated to my husband, Mark, whose confidence in me and support made it possible. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to acknowledge my mentor Dr. Patricia Gamon. I would also like to acknowledge the use of the library and graduate tutoring services at Utah Valley University, especially the help and support of Rebecca and Kelsey in the Writing Center. iii PREFACE Because of the laws in the Gulf that do not allow for criticism of any of the Gulf monarchy as well as Islam, in order to maintain their position at Qatari schools or even their research and travel privileges in the Gulf, authors ignore or soft-pedal any serious problems in the Gulf states; this must be taken into consideration when doing any research regarding this region. Another shortsightedness, I have also seen repeated in the scholarship of Qatar is a disregard for the belief in Wahhabi Islam, almost always reducing it to a “culture” or “tradition.” I examine art created and collected within a cultural context that includes the influence of Wahhabi Islam as religion. To this end, I have chosen to use the English word for Allah, which is of course God. My sources are entirely based on English-language sources. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS PAGE DEDICATION ......................................................................................................................... ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS....................................................................................................iii PREFACE ...............................................................................................................................

Bedoyan, Grace Murray, Rasha Al Sarraj Maryam Al Madadi The Black and White Activity Guide features select art works executed in black and white created by modern and contemporary artists from Mathaf’s collection. The select artworks are divided into four themed sections to facilitate discussion and understanding of the subject matter with your students.

Project the images of the artworks in your classroom and/or print out copies to look at with your students. When discussing the art works, allow students to imagine and give as many answers as possible. We recommend themes according to age levels.

  • The Case of Katara Cultural Village in Qatar
    Architecture Research 2017, 7(4): 109-122 DOI: 10.5923/j.arch.20170704.01 The Role of Public Art and Culture in New Urban Environments: The Case of Katara Cultural Village in Qatar Maryam Al Suwaidi1, Raffaello Furlan2,* 1Candidate in the Master Program in Urban Planning and Design (MUPD) at Qatar University, State of Qatar 2College of Engineering, Department of Architecture and Urban Planning (DAUP), Qatar University, State of Qatar Abstract In recent years, public art has been featured as a trend in urban environments in GCC. During its period of development, the State of Qatar worked on large megaprojects designed to attract global investments and tourists. Also, the current process of globalization has greatly contributed to increasing competition between cities and promoting the development of public art within new urban developments. This research study discusses the role of public art in influencing urban environments in Qatar, namely within Katara Cultural Village. The study explores the extent to which such an approach can raise local communities’ environmental awareness as an indirect input to the process of upgrading the desires of those living in these areas and of international tourists. In addition, it reviews the experiences of different types of catalysts for regeneration, such as art and culture, that can enhance the built environment’s recognition, value, and economic growth. A qualitative evaluation is employed for this research study, which leverages subjective methods such as interviews and observations to collect substantive and relevant data while examining the interaction of connectivity, attraction, and development as they relate to economics and other multifaceted aspects of development.

    MAPS International W.L.L. in cooperation with Doha Fire Station - Qatar Museums and in collaboration with UNESCO Club of Piraeus and Islands Presents 31st October- 4th November 2018 Doha Fire Station Doha-Qatar Message from the Head of the Event………!!! “ I want to create a bridge, I don’t want to create a wall.” QIAF 2018 is the very first art event in the region that connects the artist worldwide with live painting, Group Painting Exhibition, Qatar Cultural Tour, Panel Art Show, Award Ceremony Evening and many more. It is extremely important to bring global artist, art experts-connoisseur, art critic and art academician in the region together on the shared platform. You can fulfill many people hunger by giving them food but it’s a big and rewarding thing if u fulfill somebody’s dream. Everyone lives for a dream and if their dream is accomplished by help of someone, it’s a blessing of the Almighty to that human being. The Artistic passion is not defined by a degree in Art or commerce, its immortal seed inside of everyone and the moment you nourish these seeds with your passion, devotion, effort, time and methods, it is grown in such a way that creates its smell to its environment and inspiration to everyone. We get first miracles from Nature itself in every form by nourishing an Art. My dream towards QIAF 2018 was very simple and Divine but the road was not so easy. I was ecstatic because I loved this theme to work on. As we say that when are on the right path, many obstacles come but those obstacles are really sign of showing that we are doing right and accomplish something very big.

  • Mitchell 2013 Beyond Allocation Final Submission
    BEYOND ALLOCATION: THE POLITICS OF LEGITIMACY IN QATAR A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Government By Jocelyn Sage Mitchell, M.A. Washington, D.C. June 18, 2013 Copyright 2013 by Jocelyn Sage Mitchell All Rights Reserved ii BEYOND ALLOCATION: THE POLITICS OF LEGITIMACY IN QATAR Jocelyn Sage Mitchell, M.A. Dissertation Advisor: Stephen J. King, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This dissertation argues that in order to explain the political stability of Qatar amid the region-wide tumult of the Arab Spring, we must go beyond classic rentier state explanations of economic buyoff of the citizenry. Qatar, an extremely resource-rich country with no obvious characteristics of instability, should be a crucial case study for rentier state theory. Instead, however, we see clear evidence that a significant portion of the Qatari population is dissatisfied with the economic allocations offered by the state. Further, there appears to be little correlation between economic satisfaction and political acquiescence, with even those who are satisfied still desiring more say in government decisions and public life. Even more importantly, we see the state acting and reacting in ways that are antithetical to the classic theory—such as spending time, money, and energy promoting legitimacy in noneconomic ways, and reversing state-led policies in the face of societal backlash—which depicts a society with significantly more agency and influence on the state than previously theorized. By using an in-depth study of Qatar, this dissertation shows that economic allocation is a necessary but not sufficient condition of a rentier state’s political legitimacy formula.
