SUMMARY:Al Hosn Festival
DESCRIPTION:Two weeks of Emirati culture\, past and present – “a living expression of Abu Dhabi’s cultural heritage” – in what is probably the traditional heart of Abu Dhabi. \nBuilding on the success of the last festival\, the 2025 event sees the return of the traditional crafts area Makers Space – “through a rich programme of workshops\, talks and design showcases\, guests can learn skills for camping\, adventure and navigating the environment\, and explore how a deep history of life lived in harmony with the landscape is echoed in fresh approaches to design in the UAE today”. \nAlso returning is the Gahwa Championships for the preparation of traditional Arabic coffee; House of Artisans will present Al Teeb\, a celebration of traditional Emirati perfumery; and isitors can also learn more about Emirati culture with Sanad Al Sanaa\, a play showcasing national values like hospitality\, solidarity and cooperation.  \nThe festival’s rousing main show\, created in partnership with Abu Dhabi Heritage Police\, brings together shadow-play projections\, grand poetry recitals\, and a performance of the traditional Al Tcholeeb – horseriders chant poetry in rhythm with their horses’ hooves as they celebrate their victorious return to Qasr Al Hosn. \nNew this year is a Women’s Majlis\, rooted in the desert environment\, and a chance to get up close and personal with the hunting animals of the region. There are performances\, souks\, F&B\, arts and crafts\, family workshops\, camels\, poetry\, film\, gaming\, fashion\, and more … \nThe full programme is here. The festival open 4pm to 11pm every day. \n  \n  \n \n

SUMMARY:Adrian Pepe: A Shroud is a Cloth 
DESCRIPTION:Adrian Pepe’s poetic meditation on fragmentation and renewal gets an extended run at NIKA Project Space. It uses a monumental 200m2 woollen textile piece that previously wrapped a building damaged in the 2020 Beirut Port explosion to highlight the relationship between materials\, cultural landscapes\, and ecological intimacy\, “challenging the rigid demarcations between art\, labor\, nature\, and performance through a textile medium” as the gallery has it. \nThe works in this show\, all derived from a single source\, range in scale from intimate to monumental. Wool – cleansed\, processed\, manipulated\, and recontextualised – becomes a vessel for gestures\, images\, and rituals. Debris extracted from it – dirt\, seeds\, remnants of vegetable matter – captures the landscape within the material. Stitching\, felting\, and acts of assembly transform these materials into new compositions\, reflecting on material processes\, ecological intimacy\, and the fragility of being. “Wool has this capacity to hold time – it is resilient yet malleable\, intimate yet expansive\,” says Pepe. “In this exhibition\, I am exploring how materials are never neutral; they shape\, and are shaped by care\, labor\, and the environments they inhabit.” \nTo 17 May. \nAbove: Adrian Pepe\, Entangled Matters (fragment) (2024)

SUMMARY:Emirates Airline Festival of Literature
DESCRIPTION:The UAE’s biggest and best literary event is back at the newly renovated InterContinental Dubai Festival City\, with the usual cornucopia of writers\, creators and thought leaders – a total of around 150 events. That’s slightly fewer than usual\, and the festival is a day shorter than last year; there’s still the usual favourites (Desert Stanzas\, LitFest After Hours\, Discovery Talks\, the LitFest Families programme) running alongside the busy schedule of author talks and panels. \nBig-name authors this time include Abraham Verghese\, Hala Gorani\, Daniel Handler (aka Lemony Snicket)\, Chigozie Obioma\, Abdel Illah Benarafa\, poet and author Khalid Albudoor\, and the celebrated Palestinian chef and cookbook author Fadi Kattan. \n“Global conversations around identity and culture have never been more crucial\,” said LitFest director Ahlam Bolooki\, “and we are honoured to welcome literary icons from across the globe whose works speak to the heart of these issues … Now\, more than ever\, we need stories that connect us to our shared humanity\, and the Emirates LitFest is where those stories happen”. \nThe full programme is here\, including prices. The days usually start at 10am and most sessions should be done by 6pm\, though a few don’t start till 7 or 8pm. \n
