Art Basel Qatar Special Projects: ten site-specific commissions in Doha


Discover the ten ambitious Special Projects presented across Doha for Art Basel Qatar’s inaugural edition, curated by Artistic Director Wael Shawky. Spanning performance, installation, architecture, film, and monument, these site-specific commissions unfold across Msheireb Downtown and beyond, exploring the exhibition’s central theme of Becoming – humanity’s ongoing pursuit of meaning, progress, and possibility.

Featuring major new works by Nour Jaouda, Khalil Rabah, Bruce Nauman, Sumayya Vally, Hassan Khan, Rayyane Tabet, Nalini Malani, Abraham Cruzvillegas, Sweat Variant (Okwui Okpokwasili and Peter Born), and Jenny Holzer, the Special Projects activate public and cultural spaces throughout the city, bringing together regional and international voices in Art Basel’s largest group of new commissions to date.
