Spanning a geographic arc from Africa through the Middle East and Central Asia to China, Countryside highlighted a region deeply connected by history and still home to a majority of the world’s population. Through immersive installations, critical research, and storytelling, the exhibition challenged the dominant urban narrative and invited visitors to explore how rural life could offer more humane and ecological answers to today’s global crises.
Taking place at both Qatar Preparatory School (QPS) and the National Museum of Qatar (NMoQ), this inspiring exhibition fostered dialogue and action across generations, imagining new futures for life beyond the city.
This exhibition was sponsored by Qatar Fund for Development, Ministry of Environment and Climate Change, Hassad Foods and Kahramaa. It also benefited from the support of Al Attiyah Foundation, Earthna, Georgetown University in Qatar, Volkswagen, and Sheikh Faisal bin Qassim Al Thani Museum.
