Annual Review 2016

THIS LAND IS MINE | THIS LAND IS ME 3 DECEMBER 2016 – 26 FEBRUARY 2017 CINEMA A | GALLERY OF MODERN ART This GOMA Turns 10 film program considered how we experience and interact with the natural world; the philosophy and politics of land ownership; and the balance between exploitation, cultivation and sustainability. Presented across four interwoven strands — Connection, Transition, Consequence and Revelation — the program revealed some of the ways in which nature has been characterised in art and cinema. QAGOMA invited 15 of its most avid supporters to be GOMA Turns 10 Ambassadors . These designers, writers, musicians, architects and other members of the community — such as ten-year-old Sol Ward, who has grown up with GOMA— each shared their passion for the Gallery.
