Welcome to “Doha Shorts”, where I recommend one thing to see or do this month. Worry not, longer newsletters are not going away either.
Doha Fashion Fridays is an exhibition in M7 Gallery, part of Tasweer photo festival 2023, which runs until May 20th. The photographs capture Qatar’s migrant workers on their days off.
The project started as an Instagram account and there is a book in progress too. The entrance to the exhibition is free, but you need to book a ticket online.
The photographs occupy one full wall and there is a video projector showing the slideshow of images. While the focus is on the fashion style, the impact on the visitor goes beyond that. Worth a visit.
