Cultural Narratives in a Global Context
April 18-22, 2025

The theme of this edition of QC Talks: Cultural Narratives in a Global Context explores the intersection of cultural heritage, contemporary artistic discourse, and institutional evolution. Each session offers a unique lens on how history, identity, and innovation intersect in a rapidly changing world. As Doha expands its cultural sector, these discussions provide a platform to reflect on the local and global forces influencing creative industries. Through dialogue with experts in art, architecture, and cultural policy, QC Talks considers how creativity responds to current challenges, from sustainability and urban development to museum practices and cross-cultural exchange.
