Shift & Play Night

“A playful, interactive experience where style meets reflection, connection, and a whole lot of fun …” It all hangs on the Shift Happens cards, which encourage you to explore your wardrobe and fashion preferences with dares, truths, and prompts that spark conversation and creativity. “Come as you are, play a little, reflect a little, and leave with a shift in style, mindset, or both. Because here, we don’t just talk about fashion … we play with it.”

This is one of several events being run under the Rooted label, a collaborative project involving five organisations who successfully applied for one of Alserkal Avenue’s free four-week community-oriented warehouse initiatives – “bringing together artists, writers, musicians, makers and fashion creators to explore ideas of identity, place, and belonging in Dubai”. Rooted has events running to 13 June. Most are paid-for workshops, and none the worse for that; we prefer not to list commercial workshop activities and classes, however. The full calendar is here.
