Sail, Moving Forward

Artwork Details

Commissioned by Qatar Tourism, Oct 2022 Artists: Guillaume Rouseré Maryam Al Suwaidi Text by Frédéric Terrier Voice by : Guillaume Rouseré and Munira Mohammed “If you take a walk through The Pearl-Qatar, you’ll be sure to catch a glimpse of this goalpost and its glimmering metallic dhow sails winking in the sunlight. Come a bit closer however, and you’ll begin to hear whisperings of poetry spoken in both Arabic and French that are reflected and amplified by the sails themselves. A renowned sound artist, Guillaume has worked with local artist Maryam Faraj Al-Suwaidi to create an immersive tribute to the countries of Qatar and France. Guillaume and Maryam have been friends since their respective artist residencies at Doha Fire Station, and their story of two artists from two different cultures who have been brought together by art adds another dimension to this striking piece.” Qatar Tourism 2022.
