Detailed agenda

After careful consideration and in light of the evolving situation in the region, the Democracy & Culture Foundation, in close collaboration with our partners in Qatar, has rescheduled the Art for Tomorrow Conference to November 5—7, 2026.

This decision reflects our commitment to ensuring a safe, inclusive, and impactful gathering that upholds the values of dialogue, creativity and cultural exchange. We remain steadfast in our belief that art and culture are vital bridges for understanding and connection, especially in times of uncertainty.

The Foundation continues to monitor the situation closely and will provide further updates as needed. We are deeply grateful for your continued support and look forward to welcoming you to Doha or online for this important event.

Further details will be shared in due course.

2026, Doha, Qatar

This year’s Art for Tomorrow will take advantage of the rich culture and institutions in Doha to create dialogues that explore inherent contrasts reflected in the city itself: between past and present, East and West, pop culture and high culture. Our conversations will consider how these dualities challenge, influence and ultimately enrich each other. In a time of increasing division, we can cultivate understanding by settling into these spaces between.
