Visit our Qalb Mahmood exhibition during Museumnacht!

On November 2, during Museumnacht, Melkweg Expo opens its doors for a very special evening. Immerse yourself in the intriguing world of Qalb Mahmood, an exhibition by Abdulaziz Al-Hosni, presented in collaboration with WePresent by WeTransfer and Melkweg Expo. In Qalb Mahmood, Aziz challenges traditional views on masculinity and the strict gender norms that sometimes define Omani culture. Through his lens, he invites viewers to rethink the fluidity of identity, offering a more inclusive and dynamic perspective. By celebrating freedom and embracing vulnerability, Aziz’s work transcends conventional narratives, revealing the complex nuances of masculinity and love.

Aziz explores these themes within a futuristic, utopian context, encouraging viewers to reconsider the "authentic self" and the fluidity of gender roles, validating alternative perspectives and self-representations.

For Museumnacht, we have curated a special program. Enjoy music, a Q&A session, a lecture on the Arabic language, and a design workshop.
