My part in this project is to design fabric that represents the kaleidoscope of cultures here in Qatar.
Taking aspects of different cultures from traditional garments, print, color, surface techniques (dyeing, embroidery, appliqué), and fabrication techniques (weaving, patchwork, knitting) that are unique to a specific culture.
Then taking this fabric to create a tent like structure that will allow people, male or female, of different cultures, or class (Qatari, Worker, Expat), use either taking shelter from the sun, having a place to rest and relax, a place to converse, and to partake of food and drink, as a new representation of what is the Qatari Culture.
