A total of 40 Art Foundation students from Virginia Commonwealth University School of the Arts in Qatar (VCUarts Qatar) each has contributed a dish for an iftar, made entirely out of paper!The ‘Ramadan Feast’ is on display in the main foyer of Mathaf: Arab Museum of Modern Art, in Education City until April 10.The collaborative sculpture was the culmination of a class project in their Surface and Space Research Studios module, part of their Art Foundation year. At its core, it presents a project of material exploration, highlighting the idea that a collection of individual creations can form a cohesive whole greater than the sum of its parts—a moment captured at a Ramadan sunset.The module is taught by Art Foundation associate professors, Nathan Davis and Maysaa Almumin, along with teaching assistants, Amira Mohamed and Karmina Asaad.
