VCUQ presents an exhibit curated by two of its faculty. Assistant Professors Halim Choueiry and Peter Martin who have taught this course for several years, came up with the idea to develop this requirement into an opportunity for these students to learn relevant skills, methodologies, and gain valuable insight and knowledge in publication and printing
The students will meet a class requirement but they will also develop a tangible contribution to the community in Qatar. In the spring semesters of 2005, 2006, and 2007 the publication design students developed, designed, and produced three books dedicated to investigating aspects of everyday life in Qatar during the past, present, and future. The exhibition Qatar Now: Hazawi - Stories from the Past, Present and Future comprises a selection of students' graphic contributions to the three publications Rituals, Hazawi Al Heen, and Hazawi Al Mustaqbal, highlighting specific parts of these books.
