18 October 2025 – Doha, Qatar: As part of the Qatar Argentina and Chile 2025 Year of Culture, Qatar Museums’ Public Art Department has announced the newest edition of JEDARIART, transforming the Qatar Olympic Cycling Track tunnels into a dynamic open-air gallery that celebrates indigenous cultures and Latin American visual storytelling. This marks the second annual JEDARIART activation along the cycling track, continuing the partnership that brings international artists from Years of Culture partner countries to activate one of Qatar’s most popular community spaces.

Launched by Qatar Museums’ Public Art Department in 2020 under the patronage of Her Excellency Sheikha Al Mayassa bint Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, JEDARIART brings art to public spaces across Qatar, promoting creativity, dialogue, and accessibility. From Doha’s Corniche to Souq Waqif and desert installations like Richard Serra’s East-West/West-East, the program continues to enrich Qatar’s landscape with art that reflects the nation’s diversity and openness to the world.

This year, renowned Chilean muralist Daniel Marceli and Argentinian artist Pablo Harymbat have been invited to transform the tunnels with vibrant murals inspired by Latin American traditions, mythologies, and shared human narratives, turning the tunnels into a moving gallery that blends art, sport, and community engagement.
