SUMMARY:Art Seeding Festival: Al Khayat Chapter
DESCRIPTION:An interesting concept: “art can be ‘seeded’ into the urban environment\, where it evolves over time through interaction with people\, space\, and context … Rather than presenting finished works within gallery walls\, the festival invites artists to engage directly with the city — through murals\, installations\, and site-specific interventions. These works are encountered\, lived with\, and gradually absorbed into the identity of the place …” \nSo Art Seeding is essentially a street art festival. More specifically\, it’s a festival that references Al Khayat Avenue as an emerging cultural district — “extending the creative ecosystem of Dubai beyond established hubs and into new\, formative urban spaces”  via a festival “that moves beyond the traditional exhibition model and into the fabric of the city itself”. In practice this means artists from a range of countries and cultural backgrounds\, selected from an open call earlier this year and supplemented by around 100 students from Beyond Architecture Studio (one of the festival’s founders\, Sofia Tkach\, is also founder of B.A.S)\, will be creating works for the Festival including murals\, large-scale installations\, and studio-based projects (in Warehouse 33); in most cases this will be happening live\, so visitors can observe the artistic process in real time and engage directly with artists. \nThe programme also includes: \n\nPublic talks and panel discussions exploring art\, architecture\, and urban development\nHands-on workshops led by participating artists\nA live performance and public gathering on 19 May (the festival is being presented as a complement to Art Dubai)\n\nSofia Tkach is Director and Head Curator of the festival. The other two founders are Dmitry Melnikov\, the gallerist behind Reinvention Art Gallery (R/A/G); and Maria Kuznetsova\, producer. Between them they bridge architecture\, education\, curatorial practice\, and gallery-driven experimentation – all of which sounds like a decent basis for a placemaking artistic endeavour. \n

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE All at Once
DESCRIPTION:A group exhibition that reflects on continuity\, resilience\, and quiet optimism at a time when the world can feel uncertain. Says the gallery: “All at Once speaks to the coexistence of multiple realities – personal and shared\, fleeting and enduring\, grounded and aspirational. Through an eclectic mix of perspectives and practices\, the exhibition embraces this simultaneity\, offering a space where contrasts do not compete\, but instead unfold together”. \nThe artists: \nZhang Ji (China)\nGary Lang (USA)\nConrad Jon Godly (Switzerland)\nKojo Marfo (Ghana)\nSantiago Parra (Colombia)\nSophie-Yen Bretez (Vietnam)\nTim Kent (Canada)\nUr Kasin (Romania)\nRichard Wathen (UK)\nYann Leto (France)\nHenrik Uldalen (South Korea)\nLu Xinjian (China)

SUMMARY:Moza Al Falasi: Unfolding
DESCRIPTION:This first solo exhibition by the Emirati artist explores memory\, loss\, and the passing of time\, inviting reflection on how personal and inherited experiences leave their mark on who we are. She uses photography as her primary means of documentation\, alongside sound\, painting\, plaster\, and fabric. \nSays Al Falasi:“My work is deeply rooted in the complexities of inherited grief – the sorrow passed down through generations\, shaping identity in both visible and unseen ways … This inquiry became more profound following the loss of my parents and\, more recently\, my husband\, compelling me to examine grief not only as a personal experience but as an inherited weight that alters our inner landscapes. My art has become a means to navigate both the emotions of loss and the complexities of life\, revealing the deeply personal and collective experience of grief. Whether my practice serves as a form of healing or a visual documentation of grief remains uncertain.” \nThe exhibition is the culmination of her time with the Tashkeel Critical Practice Programme\, developing her practice across both research and production under the mentorship of Luisa Menano and Hanaa Bou Hamdan (the CCP provides UAE-based artists with 12 months’ funding\, studio access\, and mentorship). \nTo 26 June. \nTashkeel has an ongoing collaboration with the adjacent Gerbou Restaurant\, which has Gerbou’s chefs creating a dessert – the Tashkeel Artist Special – that embodies the essence of the current show. For Unfolding\, Al Falasi imagined a flavour that moves between sweet and salt\, reflecting the emotional landscape of the exhibition … \nAbove: Moza Al Falasi\, When the Grief You’re Carrying Is Not Your Own: Traces on the Surface 5 (2026)
