Tasweer\u2019s Frame and Focus exhibition showcases 12 photographers exploring identity, heritage, community and contemporary life.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Tasweer Photography Festival opened the second edition of Frame and Focus at Al Hosh Gallery on Saturday, presenting the final projects of 12 photographers who have completed Tasweer\u2019s flagship Frame and Focus Advanced 14-week Photography Course.<\/p>\n

On view until 5 October, the exhibition features documentary photography, portraiture, and conceptual image-making shaped by each participant\u2019s cultural background and personal experience to present intimate perspectives on place, community, and contemporary life.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrame and Focus speaks to a wider ambition for photography in Qatar and the region: to give photographers the space, guidance, and visibility to take their practice further and reach new audiences,\u201d Khalifa Al Obaidly, Director of Tasweer, said.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy investing in artistic development and creating platforms for work to be seen and discussed, Tasweer is helping shape a more connected photographic community and opening new possibilities for the voices and stories emerging from the region.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

The programme is delivered by Tasweer in partnership with the Qatar Preparatory School (QPS), The VII Foundation and Al Hosh Gallery.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrame and Focus shows the learning outcomes achieved when photographers receive structured guidance and opportunities to cultivate their visual voice. Through instruction, critique, and experimentation, participants were challenged to think more critically and make images with greater clarity and purpose,\u201d Deputy Director of Image and Narrative Practices of Qatar Preparatory School Alanoud Al Buainain said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe exhibition demonstrates how programmes like Frame and Focus can develop creative potential into a sustained photographic practice,\u201d\u00a0she added.<\/p>\n

The exhibition was co-curated by The VII Foundation and Abdulla Faisal Al Khalaf.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrame and Focus affirms our belief that telling your own story is a human right\u2014and that education in visual storytelling can be an act of resistance. At a time of turmoil and competing narratives, these artists bring rigor, empathy, and deeply personal perspectives to questions of belonging, memory, and resilience,\u201d Ziyah Gafi\u0107, Director of The VII Foundation, Sarajevo, said.<\/p>\n

\u201cTheir work marks not only the culmination of a programme, but an important step toward a sustainable photographic community in Qatar and the wider region,\u201d Gafi\u0107 added.<\/p>\n

\u201cEach photographer in this year\u2019s Frame and Focus brings a distinct visual language, shaped by personal experience and strengthened through the learning, experimentation, and creative exchange fostered by the Frame and Focus Photography course. Together, these individual perspectives form a rich and layered exploration of home, faith, family, memory, and belonging, alongside reflections on landscape, heritage, and community,\u201d Al Khalaf said.<\/p>\n

Several projects in the exhibition draw on personal histories and connections to place, including Maja Ba\u010di\u0107\u2019s \u201cI SEA,\u201d Fatema Ahmad Al-Doh\u2019s \u201cI, Myself, Am a Country,\u201d and Abdullatif Ahmad Alnaemi\u2019s \u201cThe First Chalk Line.\u201d<\/p>\n

Abdullatif Jaidah\u2019s \u201cThe House of God\u201d reflects on the role of the mosque as a space of prayer, hope, and continuity, while Alwaleed Alkhaja\u2019s \u201cAnd this, too, shall pass\u201d and Burair Ali Alkishri\u2019s \u201cThe Rose\u201d examine how traditions, rituals, and community shape everyday life and collective memory.<\/p>\n

Themes of home, migration, and identity also feature prominently through portraiture, documentary photography, and experimental visual storytelling, with several photographers considering how individuals and communities preserve heritage across generations, navigate displacement, and maintain connections to culture and place.\u00a0<\/p>\n

From Christophe Buffet\u2019s \u201cBasateen Al-Freej (Gardens of the Neighbourhood),\u201d which documents the transformation of a former educational site into a community-centred space, to Jhenny Marian Laya Perez\u2019s \u201cFULAN\u201d and Jaili Hajo\u2019s \u201cWe Too Have Wings,\u201d the works reveal the many ways belonging can be experienced, remembered, and reimagined.<\/p>\n

Together, the projects offer a nuanced portrait of contemporary life in Qatar and beyond, reflecting the diverse perspectives, histories, and lived experiences that shape the region today.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Tasweer will host the Frame and Focus Exhibition Tour & Artist Panel Talk at Al Hosh Gallery on Sunday, 6 September, at 3:00pm.<\/p>\n

Open to all, the event invites audiences to connect with works from the exhibit through the perspectives of artists, mentors, and programme leaders.<\/p>\n

The session will underscore the value of photography education and show how practice can reveal personal experiences, cultural narratives, and contemporary issues.<\/p>\n

The programme is delivered by Tasweer in partnership with the Qatar Preparatory School (QPS), The VII Foundation and Al Hosh Gallery.<\/p>\n

Frame and Focus is on view at Al Hosh Gallery until 5 October, Sunday to Wednesday, from 10:00am to 8:00pm; Thursday and Saturday, from 10:00am to 10:00pm; and Friday, from 3:00pm to 10:00pm.<\/p>\n

Presented as part of the Qatar Creates Fall\/Winter 2026\u201327 season, the exhibition joins a wider programme of exhibitions and events that reflect Qatar\u2019s ongoing commitment to cultural exchange, creative dialogue, and global connection.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
