SUMMARY:On Photography: The Shortest Shadow
DESCRIPTION:A three-day discussion-based practical seminar (evenings\, 6-9pm) investigating photography’s seeming constraint – its ‘short shadow’\, edging in on what already exists – and how that makes it a radical driver of modern art and thought. The seminar leader is Rohit Goel\, Director of the Bombay Institute for Critical Analysis and Research (BICAR). \nThis course is free\, and all necessary materials are provided by Sharjah Art Foundation.

SUMMARY:The Marriage of Figaro Ballet
DESCRIPTION:The final performances of the Ukrainian National Ballet’s danced version of The Marriage of Figaro. The story is broadly retained\, the major dances and duets deploy the classical ballet vocabulary\, and the production uses lavish eighteenth-century costumes and palace settings; the music generally avoids the opera’s familiar arias and ensembles in favour of some of Mozart’s less-famous instrumental music\, supplemented by original composition. \nThere are performances at 2pm and 8pm.

SUMMARY:Bashar Khalaf: The Field of Dreams
DESCRIPTION:Two series of works\, Junk Garden and Protective Shield\, from the Ramallah-born artist. “The Field of Dreams is an exploration of formations of ‘steel’ in the public space from the perspective of the relationship between the self\, the object\, and the other” says the gallery. “It can be viewed as an interactive space with the fragile reality in which humanity lives.” \nKhalaf’s dreaming energy gives steel junk – bulldozers\, vehicles\, surveillance cameras – an chance for self-reinvention; it confronts the machine with its own existence\, giving it a tragic form and allowing it reposition itself over time. The garbage bins in Protective Shield were used during the First Intifada to block street and provide shelter from bullets ; in contrast\, the colonial system used steel barrels filled with cement to seal off the entrances to villages and camps. \nTo 8 November.

SUMMARY:Artist's Room: Lulua Alyahya
DESCRIPTION:Marking her first solo exhibition in the UAE\, Lulua Alyahya’s Artist’s Room brings together new commissions\, loans and works from the Art Jameel Collection. Through her paintings\, Alyahya explores culturally embedded archetypes with tenderness\, humour and a critical inflection\, often engaging with representations of masculinity set against the natural and built environments of the Gulf; working on an intimate scale\, her layered\, gestural brushstrokes suggest a process of continual revision that contributes to the atmosphere and surreal quality of her paintings. \nTo 31 January. \nRight: Lulua Alyahya\, Skyscrapers (2023)

SUMMARY:Makers Days
DESCRIPTION:Dubai Culture’s Makers Days initiative is back – two days intended to promote creative manufacturing in Dubai by bringing together makers\, designers\, artists\, creative entrepreneurs\, manufacturers\, and fabricators with a view to promoting new opportunities for SMEs (both manufacturers and people who might want something made). It’s aiming to attract more than 150 participants for a programme of workshops\, talks\, panel discussions\, networking sessions; a Maker’s Connect programme will provide “curated mentorship opportunities”; and there will be guided visits to a selection of production facilities within the Al Quoz Creative Zone. \nApplogies for the lack of detail; we have gleaned this much from a press release but there doesn’t seem to be any online information either at Dubai Culture’s website or Alserkal’s. The programme will probably be published first on Instagram\, so maybe keep an eye on that. We’ll try to keep abreast of this and update when we can …

SUMMARY:Spider's Web
DESCRIPTION:A second night of performances for Agatha Christie’s play. It is a country-house thriller-comedy with clues aplenty and a good helping of plot contrivances – including a most convenient hidden door in the study that of course leads to a secret passage – and a disappearing corpse. Sarah Potter directs for the Junction’s resident company H72 Productions. Should be good fun. \nThe final performances are tomorrow (20 September) at 2.30pm and 7.30pm.
