Design Doha
Qatar Museums
24 February – 05 August, 2024

Ali Kaaf is presenting a series of new glass sculptures during the first edition of Design Doha at Qatar Museums.

“The story behind the Helmet series starts with a visit to the Altes Museum in Berlin, where a pile of ancient helmets is on display. These relics of fighters from different times represent cultures that used to fight each other. The relics are now captured and displayed in a cabinet together.
The shell, this remnant of man, despite all cultural differences in shape, colour and material, reveals what humans have in common: vulnerability. Is art a means of resistance? Does it fight against disappearance.”
– Ali Kaaf

Many thanks to glass artist Jesse Günther, Markus Marschmann and Zane Hettinga for their support.
