About the Library

The GubGub Studios Library is a growing resource for the creative community in Doha. Our collection brings together books and publications on art, photography, design, visual culture, critical theory and creative practice. The library is a space for reading, research, discovering new references and exchanging ideas. The collection is organized into physical categories and catalogued digitally through LibraryThing, making it easy to explore the books online.

Programming, Projects & Publishing

Beyond its collection, the library is a space for creative exchange through reading groups, workshops, artist and writer exchanges, and collaborative research. 

We also welcome ideas for independent publishing, zines, exhibitions and projects that bring new conversations and creative work into the library.
