SUMMARY:An Unwritten Country: Frauke Heard-Bey in conversation with Meitha Al Mazrooei
DESCRIPTION:Historian and author Frauke Heard-Bey joins scholar Meitha Almazrooei to discuss the long arc of writing and archiving history. Heard-Bey’s landmark publication From Trucial States to United Arab Emirates\, first published in 1982\, is an essential source for anyone interested in the development of the country; its author is a thoughtful and inspiring speaker on the subject of the role of documentation and the historical record. This should be a fascinating conversation about attending to the past in the present moment. \nThis is a public event associated with the Jameel’s Night School 2026\, an intensive five-week seminar programme (which itself is now fully subscribed).

SUMMARY:Localized Futures: Collective Heritage
DESCRIPTION:A key element in 421’s Winter season is Localized Futures: Conversations by 421 x afikra\, a four-part series of talks and panel discussions developed in collaboration with afikra. The series aims to explore the future of key cultural and civic sectors through a uniquely regional lens\, challenging the dominant global narrative by looking at the complexities\, innovations\, and solutions inherent to the MENA region. 421 says this forum will foster high-level public discourse\, share critical local knowledge\, and generally strengthen the local intellectual community. \nThose are grand aims\, but clearly fit the remits of both afikra and 421. This opener explores the roles of museums\, institutions\, policymakers\, and community advocates in defining what ‘heritage’ means – “not as a static relic\, but as a living\,\nevolving source of identity and future-making”. \nOn the panel: \nRanda Omar bin Haidar Managing Partner at Bani & Al Culture\, a consultancy specialising in research and development for arts and culture projects in the region \nSalama Nasser Al Shamsi Director of Cultural sites at DCT Abu Dhabi\, where she is responsible for managing 16 cultural sites throughout the Emirate and oversees cultural preservation efforts and programmes to promote Abu Dhabi’s heritage \nSafiya Al Maskari Project Manager at Lest We Forget\, a researcher whose expertise lies in documenting oral memories of the people in the UAE \nModerated by Mikey Muhanna\, top interviewer across culture\, policy\, academia\, media\, and the arts. \nThe upcoming Localized Futures topics are Education (10 Feb)\, Cities & Communities (2 Apr) and Arts (9 Apr).
