2 days agomaroon mashrabiya pavilion hosts performances and communal rituals for qatar in venice
At the future site of the permanent Qatar Pavilion in the Giardini, the country's national participation at Venice Art Biennale 2026, named 'untitled 2026 (a gathering of remarkable people)', transforms the pavilion grounds into an evolving cultural meeting place shaped by performance, cuisine, sound, and collective participation. Anchored by a maroon tent-like structure designed by Rirkrit Tiravanija, the exhibition brings together artists, musicians, poets, and chefs from across the Arab world and the broader MENASA region.
