SUMMARY:Ahmad Nabil: Fetus Exodus
DESCRIPTION:A Jameel Library Commission by the Palestinian artist and educator that explores regional myths and legends through ten monthly texts – chapters in fact\, in digital form – that address an imagined foetus (referred to as a “child of myths”) as it prepares to be born. Through this imagined dialogue\, the foetus is introduced to mythological thought and encouraged to embrace a shared imaginarium. The chapters traverse the entire cycle from creation and birth to resurrection\, encouraging exploration of their commonalities while making space for differences. \nAfter its conclusion on 27 July you can still view the whole project here.

SUMMARY:Karama Arts Club Social
DESCRIPTION:Newly legitimised with a licence to call itself “Dubai’s first and only non-profit social club for independent creatives”\, KAC is effectively relaunching with a social night at an undisclosed location in Al Barsha (seems Karama was too awkward to get to for many of the would-be members). “This night is all about good conversations\, new connections\, and a laid-back setting where ideas and stories can flow” say the organisers. Sign up on the link here (members get priority – membership is free but you need to be nominated and vetted). AED 180 buys you five drinks and a bar snack\, which isn’t a bad deal; or you can opt for 20% off all food ‘n’ drink à la carte.

SUMMARY:Two to One: dir Natja Brunckhorst (2024)
DESCRIPTION:A heist comedy set in East Germany and based in part on a true story. It’s the final hot summer before reunification in 1990; free-spirited Maren\, her partner Robert and friend Volker happen upon millions of soon-to-be-worthless East German banknotes and take what they can carry before the Ostmark becomes obsolete in six days’ time. How will the members of a close-knit socialist community react to the sudden wealth within their grasp? Solidarity confronts greed in a resolution that owes much to the Robin Hood story … \nScreens as part of the Cultural Foundation’s week-long European Film Festival Abu Dhabi 2025.
