Doha: The Katara Cultural Village Foundation, in partnership with the International MAPS Foundation, is currently hosting the third edition of the Cosmic Canvas-Space Art Exhibition, featuring the works of 21 artists.
The exhibition, running until September 20, 2024, at the Al Thuraya Planetarium, beautifully blends art and science to deepen visitors’ appreciation of the universe.
“This third edition is part of the Katara Space and Science Programme 2024,” said Rashmi Agarwal, Founder and President of the International MAPS Foundation. “It showcases a remarkable collaboration of 19 talented artists from Qatar, along with one each from the United States and Russia. Each artist has brought their unique creativity and perspective to capture the beauty of our cosmos, with many pieces inspired by the James Webb Telescope programme,” she told The Peninsula.
The exhibition also features original prints from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) that highlight the wonders of the cosmos, as well as holographic art by multimedia artist Mariam Hashemi Brian, offering fresh perspectives on space exploration.
