SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Asunción Molinos Gordo: The Peasant\, the Scholar and the Engineer
DESCRIPTION:Asunción Molinos Gordo’s second major collaboration with Art Jameel – following her 2019 Artist’s Garden\, In Transit (Botany of a Journey) – is her first retrospective exhibition in West Asia. This show spans 15 years of Molinos Gordo’s work\, tracing her journey from foundational artwork on food systems and agriculture in Egypt and the Arab world to recent investigations of Arab and Muslim heritage in her native Spain. \nCentral to her work is the concept of pensamiento campesino (peasant knowledge)—the accumulated wisdom and expertise of small farmers over centuries\, often overlooked by agronomic science and prevailing notions of progress. Molinos Gordo aims to reclaim this knowledge to foster more sustainable relationships with land\, resources\, and social harmony. For the artist\, this perspective is vital to achieving food sovereignty\, sustainability and the long-term stability of the global food supply. \nThe exhibition brings together key works that defined Molinos Gordo’s engagement with histories of food production and agriculture. They include the 2015 Sharjah Biennial Prize winner WAM (World Agriculture Museum) (2010). Emblematic of the latest developments of her practice\, Como solíamos (As we used to) (2020) is a large-scale rammed-earth installation that evokes the vernacular irrigation systems of Al-Andalus and reflects on the transformations of agricultural land over time.

SUMMARY:SILA: All that is Left to You
DESCRIPTION:In times of adversity\, especially amid the ongoing devastation in Gaza\, tatreez – the ancient practice of hand-embroidery\, a foundational element of Palestinian intangible heritage – becomes an act of survival and defiance. This exhibition of works by 25 artists honours the centuries-old practice and reimagined it through a contemporary lens. Several of the featured works are the result of direct collaboration with master embroiderers from the Inaash Association\, ensuring the preservation of the authenticity and the evolving spirit of tatreez. \nThe participating artists: \nAmer Shomali\nAbdel Rahman Katanani\nAreen Hassan\nAya Haidar\nBokja\nCristiana de Marchi\nDahouk Chamsi-Pasha\nFarah Behbehani\nHazem Harb\nKatya Traboulsi\nJoanna Barakat\nLeila Jabre Jureidini\nLiane Al Ghusain\nMaysaloun Faraj\nNada Debs\nNaima Almajdobah\nnaqsh collective\nNour Hage\nOmarvis\nSama Alshaibi\nSamar Hejazi\nSamia Halaby\nTala Hammoud Atrouni\nSteve Sabella\nZaid Farouki \nThe public opening (11am on 21 September) includes a guided tour of the exhibition led by the curators Cima Azzam (Maraya Art Centre) and Noor Suhail (1971 – Design Space). That’s followed at 1.30pm by a panel discussion – Tatreez: from Stitch to Symbol\, moderated by Wafa Ghnaim\, Founder of the Tatreez Institute\, and featuring speakers Rula Alami (founder of the Sila Movement\, a social fabric and clothing cooperative in Palestine: “we see clothing as a way to unite people\, to build a community where every individual contributes to the collective\, and as a way to educate people and bring awareness to social injustices happening around the globe”); Joanna Barakat (artist\, founder of The Tatreez Circle and author of Narrative Threads: Palestinian Embroidery in Contemporary Art); and Farah Behbehani (artist and calligrapher). \nTo 5 January.

SUMMARY:Public Art Abu Dhabi Biennial: Bik Van der Pol’s The poem that jumps the fence
DESCRIPTION:Artist duo Bik Van der Pol (Liesbeth Bik and Jos Van der Pol) engage in collaborative projects on how art constructs public spaces for speculative thought and collective creativity. The poem that jumps the fence features weekly performances on Abu Dhabi Beach and workshops connecting words and sand as real and symbolic material that binds our world; every Sunday afternoon\, a performer writes a poem in the sand\, only for it to fade away. During workshops in collaboration with local poets and writers\, participants generate text for the performances. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Beethoven’s The Fifths
DESCRIPTION:A proper full-scale orchestral concert evening\, even if the combination of Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony and his Piano Concerto No.5 (“Emperor”) feels as though it might be driven more by marketing than a natural musical combination. Still\, there are no complaints over the orchestra – the Hungarian State Opera Orchestra under the baton of István Dénes – or the soloist for the piano concerto\, Leeds International Piano Competition winner Anna Tsybuleva (above). Should be a good evening.
