SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Afra Al Dhaheri: Restless Circle
DESCRIPTION:A selection of works by Afra Al Dhaheri that explore the structural effects of tension\, repetition and time provides Sharjah Art Foundation’s first show of Autumn. “Working with materials such as cotton rope\, fabric\, cement and hair\, the artist emphasises slow gestures\, intentional movements and the fatigue that can build from ongoing\, repetitive and even invisible labour …” \nThe exhibition’s title comes from a newly commissioned installation with the same name; that draws inspiration from desert plants that create spiral patterns in the sand as they move with the wind. For Afra Al Dhaheri\, this offers a metaphor for mental exhaustion and collective burnout\, the sense of being endlessly pushed to produce or perform: “in other works\, repetition emerges as a condition of making\, a method shaped by the interplay of tension\, weight and the ongoing rhythm of doing and undoing”.

SUMMARY:BRIDGE Summit 2025
DESCRIPTION:The organisers of BRIDGE Summit 2025 says its goal is to “establish itself as a comprehensive exploration of the forces transforming global media … Designed as a global platform for collaboration\, discovery\, and innovation\, BRIDGE Summit 2025 will explore how creativity\, technology\, and commerce converge to define the next era of communication and culture … bringing together leaders from media\, technology\, culture\, policy\, and investment”. \nEssentially it’s a high-powered large-scale three-day conference and exhibition that aims to shape “the future of media\, content and entertainment” across seven core tracks – Media\, Creator Economy\, Music\, Gaming\, Tech\, Marketing\, and Picture – which between them should have 300 exhibitors\, 200 talks and panels\, 50 interactive workshops\, and multiple opportunities for matchmaking and networking. \nIt is also aiming for more than 60\,000 ‘participants’\, a more pointedly proactive term than ‘visitors’; admission is free\, but you have to apply for a ticket to demonstrate that you qualify. \nCertainly the speaker list is impressive – lots of traditional and digital media bigwigs from around the world; a sprinkling of philanthropists and a mass of investors\, bankers and entrepreneurs; a bevy of enthusiasts and C-suite denizens from AI; several marketing-oriented thinkers and doers with a media or tech bias; and a couple of British ex-politicians. \nCheck the website for details of the programme\, which as of early November hadn’t been published yet.
