Wusum Gallery, a newly launched contemporary art gallery in Doha, Qatar, aims to nurture regional artists and provide a platform for artistic expression. Founded by Wadha Al-Aqeedi and Tariq Al Jaidah, the gallery's inaugural exhibition, "دار ا َا ّر" (Revolving Rooms), showcases the work of twenty-nine contemporary artists from Doha, celebrating their diverse contributions to the art scene in Qatar and beyond.
