SUMMARY:From Istanbul to Cairo – A Thousand Ways of Being Modern: dir Ilana Navaro (2025)
DESCRIPTION:In conjunction with the NYUAD Art Gallery’s current exhibition All Manner of Experiments\, the Gallery has organised a special screening of Ilana Navaro’s well-regarded documentary exploring how late 19th- and 20th-century artists from the region developed alternative modernities. The film features contributions from key art historians – among them Nada Shabout\, curator of the exhibition\, who will be talking with Masha Kirasirova after the screening. Kirasirova is a Faculty Fellow at NYUAD\, a historian whose work approaches modern Middle Eastern history from a ‘Second World’ perspective. \nImage: Inji Efflatoun\, Dreams of the Detainee (1961)

SUMMARY:Van Gogh: Light from Darkness
DESCRIPTION:Art historian Rose Balston leads a deep dive into Van Gogh’s life\, art and legacy with a talk that goes behind the myth of the “tortured genius”\, the madman\, the failure “into the real story of an artist whose convictions about truth\, dignity and human connection were absolutely uncompromising”. Also included: tenor Charles McGlone singling Don McLean’s ‘Starry\, Starry Night’\, a reflection on art as healing by transpersonal psychologist Nargis Raza\, and food and drinks throughout (“substantial” canapés\, mocktails\, “other drinks”). Interesting factoid\, courtesy of Ms Balston: Van Gogh considered ‘Starry Night’ a weak painting (actually he referred to it in letters to his brother Theo as a “failure”  – he felt that he had “reached for stars that are too big”) and regarded ‘The Potato Eaters’ as “the best thing I did”.
