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:Mahmoud Moussa: Sculpture\, Form & Memory
DESCRIPTION:The UAE’s first solo exhibition dedicated to the Egyptian sculptor. Mahmoud Moussa (1913–2003) is described by Maha Al Mansoori Art Gallery – which is responsible for this short-run Frieze-adjacent show – as one of the most important figures in Arab modernism. \nCurated by Al Mansoori\, the exhibition is presented in collaboration with Motion Gallery in Cairo. It considers how material can hold memory\, how reduction can intensify expression\, and how subjects drawn from lived experience can achieve a presence that exceeds their immediate reference; as the gallery has it\, “rather than imposing a single interpretation\, it invites sustained attention to the relationship between each work’s physical construction and its emotional register … Moussa’s sculptures offer a compelling proposition: that the significance of sculpture need not depend on scale or spectacle. It may instead reside in the precision of a contour\, the balance of a volume\, or the quiet transformation of stone into a form that remains at once familiar and enigmatic”. \nMaha Al Mansoori Art Gallery will move into a permanent space in the UAE capital early in 2027. \nImage: Mahmoud Moussa\, Untitled (1968)

SUMMARY:Un Air de Famille
DESCRIPTION:Culture Emulsion brings its successful French comedy to Abu Dhabi – and it is very funny\, a sharp and blackish comedy about the ties that unite (and sometimes suffocate). Every Friday the Mesnards gather at the family café before going to dinner; but for this night the unspoken tensions and buried frustrations are revealed. \nIt’s back in Dubai for further shows at The Junction on 20\, 21 and 22 November. (It’s in French\, of course.)
