SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Samar Hejazi: In Circulation
DESCRIPTION:For her first solo exhibition in the UAE\, curated by Nadine Khoury\, Samar Hejazi presents a body of work that explores how forms shift\, unravel\, and reassemble over time. Working across textile\, printmaking\, and spatial intervention\, her practice suggests that meaning is something continuously in flux; the exhibition unfolds through a series of open-ended questions around stability\, resilience\, and transformation. “Hejazi’s works carry traces of memory and labour\, where making becomes inseparable from thinking\, and material itself operates as a system of knowledge …”

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Jumana Emil Abboud: The Storyteller and the Obedient Tide
DESCRIPTION:Jumana Emil Abboud’s first solo exhibition in the Emirates draws on the lineage of Palestinian folktales and their continued resonance in the present – how stories inhabit landscapes\, shape personal histories and collective memory\, and create an enchanted relationship to the landscape. \nThe works in this show are like traces and fragments left by the tide’s ebb and flow; “they drift across time and geography\, fact and mythology\, and are grounded in the context of the Palestinian struggle for liberation and return” says the gallery. “Mirroring the exhibition’s title\, the tide’s devotion to the moon’s pull and the storyteller’s slow telling prompt the central question of the exhibition: how do we carry light\, across oceans\, across ruins\, across silence\, without letting it be extinguished?”

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Safwan Dahoul – The Eye: An Aperture Into the Soul
DESCRIPTION:Safwan Dahoul’s most recent body of work continues his Dream series – an ongoing body of work investigating the dream state that he began back in the late 1980s\, exploring “the physical and psychological effects of alienation\, solitude\, and longing that punctuate the human experience at various stages in life”. This solo show features the beautiful and usually melancholic monochromatic style which has become characteristic of Dahoul; it also includes more experimental works that are being shown in the UAE for the first time.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Supermarket
DESCRIPTION:A great idea from Foundry Downtown – a group exhibition featuring artists based in the UAE who are not (currently) represented by galleries. The organisers describe it as “for the first time\, a selling exhibition structured around accessibility\, discovery\, and dialogue. The project seeks to encourage a broader public to engage with contemporary art with greater confidence and curiosity\, while offering artists an opportunity to present their work in a context that is both visible and commercially supportive …” \nIn that context\, the title represents a quite deliberate borrowing from retail – though the curators are keen to emphasise that doesn’t mean crudely reducing art to merchandise rather than “critically asking what it means to ‘shop’ for art at a moment when value is shaped not only by artistic quality\, but also by visibility\, narrative\, and systems of legitimacy”. Still\, it is a selling exhibition\, with works at “an accessible price point” …

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Noor Al Suwaidi: The Sky Forgets\, the Heart Remembers
DESCRIPTION:In this exhibition of a new body of work\, curated by Cima Azzam\, Noor Al Suwaidi approaches colour as a field of sensation where form appears and dissolves within shifting tonalities – “figures hover at the edge of abstraction; colour gathers\, disperses\, and returns again … allowing forms to surface briefly before receding again\, like a feeling remembered but never fully named”. Alongside the paintings\, monochrome marble-like sculptures introduce a contrasting presence with absence of colour to offer a quiet counterpoint to the chromatic intensity of the canvases. And the gallery itself has been tuned to suit: “deep maroon walls hold the paintings in a state of quiet intensity … the architecture of the space has been softened. Surfaces are sanded and corners eased into gentle curves. The room no longer insists on edges. Instead\, it moves with a quieter rhythm that echoes the sensibility of the works themselves …”

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Salmah Al Mansoori: Who I Become
DESCRIPTION:Rooted in her surroundings\, the work of Salmah Al Mansoori\, an Emirati artist from Abu Dhabi\, begins with acts of noticing: fragments\, residues\, and overlooked materials drawn from everyday life. These are reworked into new forms that carry both personal and collective memory; handmade paper\, infused with desert grasses\, palm fibres\, and natural pigments\, holds traces of landscape and labour\, while extending the life of what might otherwise disappear. Documentation gives way to transformation; what begins as an act of collecting becomes a process of reconfiguration\, where materials shift\, forms evolve\, and associations remain open. \nCurated by Cima Azzam and featuring artworks loaned by Firetti Contemporary\, the presentation reflects an ongoing exploration of memory\, material\, and place.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Shezad Dawood: Skin of Dreams
DESCRIPTION:Shezad Dawood’s 25-year career spans painting\, textiles\, sculpture\, ceramics\, film\, performance and digital media. Fascinated by ecologies and architecture\, his work connects art\, science\, music\, environmentalism and technology to explore both alternative histories and futures\, through a process of continuous world-building expressed as an explosion of colour and multi-layered narratives; and that should make this first mid-career retrospective of the artist a must-visit. The exhibition\, which is curated by Jessica Cerasi\, features more than 40 works including painting\, sculpture\, monumental film installations\, and interactive virtual reality experiences.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Global Positioning System
DESCRIPTION:An ambitious large-scale group exhibition dedicated to mapping and navigation systems\, “telling stories of fast cars and donkeys\, spinning globes and street barricades\, cosmic highways and broken bridges … [it] delves into topographies\, transit lines and simulated landscapes to engage critically with the infrastructure of movement and navigation”. Set against real and imagined geographies and landscapes\, the exhibition asks questions about the infrastructures that enable transport and trade\, the promises of speed and progress\, the meaning of home\, and what ‘navigation’ means when the destination is not a place but a memory … It is curated by Indranjan Banerjee and Lucas Morin (both exhibition curators at the Jameel) and features 30 artists. A second ‘chapter’ of the exhibition runs at Hayy Jameel in Jeddah to 26 October featuring 22 artists – a third of whom are from the Dubai roster\, with new names making up the balance.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Artists’ Rooms: Kamruzzaman Shahdin
DESCRIPTION:A monumental one-room installation that restages the Bangladeshi artist’s The River Remembers. Originally commissioned by the Diriyah Biennale Foundation and created in 2023\, this large-scale textile work has handcrafted threads mapping the colour of the water of the Teesta and the Brahmaputra\, two rivers flowing through the Bengal delta. Engraved brass disks convey the memories and migration stories of two women in the artist’s life whose own lives were strongly marked by the river.
