Mehdi Moutashar sits with curator Amin Alsaden to discuss his inspiration, practice and current show at Doha’s Mathaf, Mehdi Moutashar: Introspection as Resistance, which runs until 5 March 2024. Moutashar’s contemporary work continues to demonstrate a sophisticated understanding of Arab-Muslim heritage, propelled into the present thanks to his endless experimentation, and an ongoing dialogue with a specific constellation of avant-garde modern and postwar movements.
