5. Recording/Constructing: The Photograph & the Real Workshop

Date: July 25
Time: 3pm to 5pm
Venue: Workshop Zero at Doha Fire Station, Wadi Al Sail
Fire Station is known for being one of Doha’s leading contemporary art centres. In this hands-on session, participants will look closely at images together (found and staged, documentary and constructed) and pull apart how framing, sequence, and a single caption can quietly change everything.
What makes a photograph feel true? And what happens when a staged image feels more honest than a real one?
This workshop is led by Qatari filmmaker and visual artist Hamad Jassim AlFayhani who is also currently an Artist Intensive Study Programme (AISP) participant at the Fire Station. He explores the spectrum between the staged and the real, examining how constant image-making continues to blur those boundaries. It opens with a framing talk that situates the discussion within both documentary and constructed photographic traditions, with particular attention to regional practices where archive and authorship intersect.
Workshop tickets are priced at QR50 and are available on Qatar Creates.
