SUMMARY:Made in the UAE
DESCRIPTION:A group exhibition for seven UAE-based artists – Ahmed Emad (UAE/Egypt)\, Anila Ashraf (Pakistan)\, Camelia Mohebi (UAE)\, Elizaveta Pugacheva (Russia)\, Samo Shalaby (Egypt/Palestine)\, Sasan Nasernia (Iran) and Yousif Albadi (Sudan) – chosen from more than 300 submissions received through an open call. The gallery’s founder\, Jean-David Malat\, reported that “the level of submissions we received was incredibly strong and demonstrated the depth of talent currently shaping the UAE’s cultural landscape. What stood out was not only the quality of the work\, but the diversity of perspectives and experiences represented. These artists reflect the international and layered identity that makes Dubai such a compelling creative city today …” Selected by a jury including Zina Khair\, Roxane Zand\, Ali Mohammadioun and Malat himself\, the exhibition explores themes of identity\, memory\, materiality and cultural exchange and promises “a snapshot of the diverse artistic voices currently shaping the UAE’s contemporary art landscape”. To 1 July. \nAbove: Samo Shalaby\, Genesis (2025) \n

SUMMARY:Yahael Camara Onono: Mandé Maqamāt 
DESCRIPTION:Beyond trade routes and history books lies a deeper current: shared rhythms\, spiritual traditions\, and cultural echoes that have travelled for centuries across deserts and oceans alike. Mandé Maqamāt invites audiences into a world where the Gulf meets the vast musical landscapes of West Africa; the award-winning West African percussionist Yahael Camara Onono (founder and bandleader of the Balimaya Project) is joined by a collective of virtuosos from the region and its diaspora to transform The Black Box into a laboratory of spontaneous exploration with an evening of deep Mandé grooves\, soaring Arabic maqamāt\, and fearless improvisation.
