‘Tasmeem In the Classroom – Behind the Scenes’

This exhibition invites the audience behind the scenes of Tasmeem in the Classroom, a method to extend the conference beyond the days of the event. The integration of Hekayat into the classroom provides an opportunity for faculty to explore the theme with students and to celebrate the multiple formats and processes of storytelling. The concept of Hekayat (stories) in art and design can be understood through multiple lenses, connecting audiences with cultures, histories, and future scenarios. There is something magical that happens when a story emerges through a piece of art or design. Many projects developed in the classroom embrace storytelling as a method for creation and inspiration, resulting in various forms, mediums, perspectives, and pedagogies. ‘Tasmeem In the Classroom – Behind the Scenes’ welcomes you on a journey through the different perspectives of VCUarts Qatar’s faculty and the ways in which they guide their students to imagine, create, interact, and locate stories in their creative work.
