The Qatar Philharmonic Orchestra, in partnership with Markhiya Gallery and The Fire Station, are set to present a unique event, “Philharmonic at the Library: An Ode to Women’s Creativity Around the World” on April 24, 2025, at the Qatar National Library. This event serves as a tribute to the significant contributions women have made in the arts, both internationally and in Qatar. The concert will bring together distinguished artists from around the world, who will discuss their experiences and the challenges they have faced in their careers. The performance will feature female musicians from the Qatar Philharmonic playing chamber music composed by women from different eras and regions. This concert highlights the importance of celebrating women’s achievements in the arts, while showcasing their unique talents and contributions. The event is a celebration of women’s creativity and empowerment, and will feature a diverse range of artists, each with their own unique story to tell.
“Women have the power to shape their own stories and create their own destiny,” said Hind Al Obaidli, a contemporary artist and painter known for her captivating depictions of the human body submerged in water.
Hind Al Obaidli’s artistic journey began in her childhood, when she became fascinated with portraiture and painting. Her early works focused on expression, gesture, and the interplay of light and shadow, laying the groundwork for the techniques she would later develop. Al Obaidli has a background in architecture, having studied at Oxford Brookes University, earning both undergraduate and postgraduate degrees. Her architectural training has significantly influenced her artistic practice, introducing a level of precision and a nuanced interaction between the human figure and its surroundings. Her artwork frequently blurs the boundaries between tangible and abstract spaces, as seen in her piece Submerged, where the human body is depicted submerged in water, its shape transformed by sunlight and the movement of waves. Hind’s artistic style is a reflection of her architectural background, with a focus on precision and a deep understanding of the interplay between light, shadow, and form.
- Among the participants, Lina Alaali, a prominent artist from Qatar, will explore the nation’s cultural heritage through a contemporary perspective.
- Fatima Tarig Jawed, a Pakistani artist specialising in ceramic sculptures, will contribute to the event with her innovative use of discarded automobile parts.
- Charlene Kasdorf, a visual literacy educator and artist, will launch a participatory drawing initiative that invites instinctive character-drawing.
These artists, along with Hind Al Obaidli, will be part of a diverse and talented lineup of women in the arts, who will share their stories and inspire others through their art. Their contributions will not only celebrate women’s achievements in the arts but also provide a platform for women to share their unique perspectives and experiences.
