QATAR-USA 2021 Photography Exchange
As part of the Qatar-USA 2021 Year of Culture, photographers Andrew Studer and Khalifa Al Misnad undertook a magnificent journey through the Pacific Northwest, photographing landscapes and documenting their experiences.
The resulting photographs formed a stunning exhibition, Light & Shadow: A Visual Journey Through Oregon, which was exhibited at the Qatar America Institute of Culture in Washington D.C.
On December 16, 2021, the Qatar America Institute for Culture (QAIC) hosted an opening reception for its two newest exhibitions in partnership with Qatar Museums and its Years of Culture program, Cultural Fusion and Light & Shadow: A Visual Journey Through Oregon.
With both exhibitions open to the public until early 2022, they served as a continuation of the Qatar-USA 2021 Year of Culture initiative, as well as a celebration of the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the United States and Qatar in 2022.
