A leading modernist artist Mohammed Melehi speaks at Mathaf: Museum of Modern Art in Education City.
DOHA: Leading modernist artist Mohammed Melehi recently delivered a lecture on his work as a painter, publisher, educator, and social activist at Mathaf: Museum of Modern Art in Education City.
Melehi’s work is currently on show as one of Mathaf’s Focus exhibitions dedicated to pioneering regional artists. The talk was organised as part of Mathaf Talks, an ongoing series of public events where invited creative professionals engage in conversations and debates on art history & artistic practices.
Melehi presented a lecture on his personal experiences spanning his 60-year career. It was followed by a conversation with Mathaf Curator Laura Barlow. The discussion touched on insights from the artist’s work in education, politics and community development that supported the growth of independent creative expression and critical thinking in artistic communities in Morocco.
