SUMMARY:POSTPONED Mouteea Murad: Exodus Through the Maze – Disorientation as Fate
DESCRIPTION:“Disorientation does not begin with the wandering mind\, but with an excess of questioning\,” says the gallery in introducing this exhibition of the Syria-born Sharjah-based artist’s most recent body of work. “In this context\, art is not considered a linear path or a complete narrative\, but rather a constantly shifting one –moving between memory\, origin\, and transformation.” \nIn Exodus through the Maze\, Murad explores art as a practice influenced by existing visuals – “derived from everyday imagery and experiences\, as well as the ongoing development of past visual languages”. The collages on display reference elements of modern and contemporary art within a new visual framework that opens the image to reinterpretation. \nTo 10 April. \nAbove: Mouteea Murad\, Trial No. 173 – The Fate of the Red Exodus I (2024)

SUMMARY:Nihad Al Turk: Creatures of Hope
DESCRIPTION:Without formal art schooling\, Nihad Al Turk has developed a distinctive visual language that blends colours\, forms\, and patterns\, “preserving his naïve sensibility while conveying his philosophical outlook and artistic vision”. His paintings typically feature anthropomorphic shapes and figures\, a form of self-portraiture that reflects Al Turk’s view on humanity and his connection with the world – “these haunting\, creature-like beings represent the complexity of our human ecosystem”. \nTo 9 May. \nAbove: Nihad Al-Turk\, Heroism (2014)

SUMMARY:Wednesday Night Impro: Maestro
DESCRIPTION:The Courtyard’s popular evening of elimination improv. Ten actors converge for a night of scenes\, songs and games based on audience suggestions. After each round you score the players on a scale of 1 to 5\, and the one with the lowest score is knocked out. Eventually only one remains\, to be crowned the Maestro. “Fast-paced\, unpredictable\, and hilarious” says the promo\, and you couldn’t argue with that. As with all Courtyard improv evenings it’s free\, but you need to put your name on the guestlist (via the website); and it’s first-come first-served\, so get there early to grab a seat. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:POSTPONED The Voice of Hind Rajab: dir Kaouther Ben Hania (2025)
DESCRIPTION:Tunisian director Kaouther Ben Hania has created a docudrama that reconstructs the horrifying true story of five-year-old Hind Rajab as she is bombarded by the Israeli army in Gaza in 2024. Rajab survived the original assault by the IDF\, which killed six family members and two paramedics\, and she stayed on the phone for hours to the Palestine Red Crescent Society desperately begging for help. Rajab’s heart-wrenching voice is real; the film fictionally reconstructing the drama of the emergency responders in their call centre office. \nThis is a powerful film\, greeted with a 23-minute standing ovation when shown at the Venice Film Festival last autumn. It also begs a few questions about whether the mix of fiction and fact is at all exploitative; but you can make your own minds up about that … Very highly recommended\, \nIt is presented here by the NYUAD Film and New Media Program and screening as part of the CinemaNA series of contemporary Arab cinema.
