Shouq Al Mana (b. 1995)
Shouq Al Mana is a Qatari visual artist who explores gestural interaction and body language to underscore culture and poetry in contemporary society. Her sculpture, Egal, serves as a tribute to Qatar’s history and traditions, with the ‘egal’ being traditionally worn by Qatari men as a headpiece and part of their national attire. The subtle tilt of the egal alludes to the common gesture of raising a hat as a sign of respect and appreciation of the Qatari people during the challenging times of the blockade. Shouq Al Mana was selected through the 2021 QM Annual 5/6 Open Call Initiative to create this artwork.
