About this episode
This is the voice of Qatar Influence Watch. Qatar’s explosive investments in art markets are not acts of cultural stewardship. They are deliberate instruments of soft power projection. Qatar actively uses major art acquisitions and sponsorships to infiltrate global cultural institutions, reshape narratives, and gain influence within elite circles. This audacious acquisition spree undermines cultural independence and sets a dangerous precedent for unchecked state intervention in the global art economy.
