SUMMARY:Children's Biennial
DESCRIPTION:What a good idea this is: the Abu Dhabi Festival is running the first outdoor children’s art biennale in the Middle East Under the theme How the World Feels\, the Biennale will explore how children experience the world through touch\, sound\, movement and light. \nFeaturing works and workshops by UAE-based artists and an international collaboration with National Gallery Singapore\, the Biennale – curated by Dana Almazrouei – will offer family sessions\, workshops and an interactive guide Nine participating artists are Alia AlShamsi\, Aya Afaneh\, Hana El-Sagini\, Moza Almatrooshi\, Moza Almazrouei\, Meera Almazrooei\, Nada Almosa and Sarah Afaneh\, plus Indonesian artist Eko Nugroho; says the blurb\, “they will transform Umm Al Emarat Park into a space where audiences of all ages can encounter art through touch\, sound\, movement and light … Through open-ended experiences\, children are invited to experiment\, question\, collaborate\, imagine and create their own meanings”. \nSays Dana Almazrouei: “We wanted to ask the kind of questions adults often stop asking: what stories lie beneath the soil? How does sound travel through a park? Working with each artist\, we thought first about how a child would experience the piece\, and what they might carry with them afterwards … Play is how children come to understand the world. As historian Johan Huizinga observed\, play creates temporary worlds shaped by shared rules and imagination\, and that’s what we hope this park becomes. It isn’t just a way to make art accessible; it’s how children think\, discover and build their own stories\, together.”

SUMMARY:CLOSING TODAY Rana Begum: Taking Form
DESCRIPTION:Rana Begum brings her textile works to The Third Line for the first time. Her fifth solo exhibition at the gallery features a new body of large-scale wool tapestries presented alongside works on linen\, paper and MDF\, all reflecting the artist’s longstanding engagement with abstraction and minimalism and continuing her exploration of light through new materials and forms. Her characteristic engagement with geometry runs throughout\, with forms suggesting patterns that extend beyond their physical boundaries. \n

SUMMARY:CLOSING TODAY Manish Nai: In Search of Material Within Material
DESCRIPTION:A solo exhibition by the Mumbai-based artist; much of his work comes from what he has seen and handled there. Nai works with jute\, newspaper\, cardboard\, used clothing\, mosquito mesh and corrugated metal; he cuts\, folds\, compresses and layers these materials\, often through slow and repetitive processes. “Rather than hiding what they were originally used for\, he makes that history part of the work”.

SUMMARY:Artist Talks: Wafa Al Falahi – Texture of a Dream
DESCRIPTION:A conversation moderated by Sarah Almehairi that explores Wafa Al Falahi’s practice across painting\, sculpture\, and drawing\, “where instinctive encounters with material give form to the subconscious”. The discussion traces how memory and dream take shape through the creatures and landscapes that populate her work that are at once familiar and uncanny. \nAl Falahi is an Emirati multidisciplinary artist whose practice deploys painting\, sculpture and drawing to give form to the subconscious. Her first solo show opened recently in Alserkal Avenue. \nArtist Talks is an artist-to-artist conversation series founded by Sarah Almehairi in 2020\, bringing together creatives based in or affiliated with the UAE to discuss their practices.
