A programme of Qatar Museums

What if we could
imagine more?

The Centre for Applied Imagination brings artists, scientists, technologists, craftspeople and thinkers together around questions no single field can answer.

The Centre

A Qatar where people from every field imagine, test and build what comes next, together.

Twice a year, the Residency brings specialists from different fields to Qatar to work together on one question, hosted by partners across the country.

Being Human, a salon series, brings one guest at a time into conversation with Qatar, in four moments: a welcome gathering, a public activation, a school session and a closing gathering.

Projects carry what happens when those minds meet into the world, from the first question to what it leaves behind.
