SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Huma Shoaib: Fractal
DESCRIPTION:Huma Shoaib has always been an interesting\, thoughtful artist\, creating patterns from sacred geometry and looking for analogies in life and nature. She often uses paper cut silhouettes layered with detailed graphite drawings that typically adds three-dimensional depth to otherwise flat imagery. \nAccording to the gallery\, this new show is “an exhibition that explores chaos as fractal paradox; where perfect\, infinite patterns of existence\, spirituality and free will will repeat across scales\, blurring the line between divine order and self-destructive conflict …” Significantly influenced by sufi ideologies\, Huma Shoaib’s work tries to break down this chaos into simple fractal structures that speak of order\, perfection\, the divine.

SUMMARY:CANCELLED UAENO: Echoes of Time – Ibn Arabi
DESCRIPTION:A second performance for the UAE National Orchestra concert inspired by the words of Ibn Arabi\, the Arab scholar\, Sufi mystic\, poet\, and Muslim philosopher from 12th and 13th century al-Andalus\, in the form of a symphonic poem by Nadim Tarabay (the composer who was also commissioned for the UAENO’s symphony The Beginning). \nIbn Arabi’s major teachings emphasize the concept of unity of existence (wahdat al-wujud)\, the idea that all beings are interconnected manifestations of the same divine reality\, encouraging a deep understanding of the self and God through love and spiritual discovery; Echoes of Time seeks a musical response to these ideas\, where the music becomes reflection and connection with Arabic and Western instruments plus voices “invite the audience to experience time as emotion\, where silence and melody carry meaning”.
