In an innovative artistic step aimed at enhancing empathy for the deaf and blind, Mathaf: Artists’ Residence will host Sunday the “Sensory Experience” event, designed by Qatari artist Noura al-Shahwani. The event will continue until November 25, in Mathaf Studios 101 and 104, where visitors will have a unique opportunity to explore a world without sight or sound through an influential and distinctive artistic experience.
The event will be held daily from Saturday to Thursday from 9am to 7pm, while its doors will open on Friday from 1:30pm to 7pm. Entry is free and open to all ages. Through this event, Noura al-Shahwani seeks to enrich visitors’ awareness of the experiences of the sensory impairment, through a series of activities that focus on sensing emotions and appreciating life beyond traditional senses.
The event will be a stimulating event for emotions, and to enhance human understanding of life from a different perspective. This project is part of Mathaf’s commitment to providing innovative artistic platforms that highlight social and humanitarian issues, using art as a means of expression and communication.
