SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE The Poetry of Birds
DESCRIPTION:Following previous editions of this exhibition in Paris and Tokyo\, L’ÉCOLE\, School of Jewelry Arts aims to offer a dialogue between 19th and 20th-century Western jewellery and Islamic arts\, with poetry as the common thread. Jewels\, precious objects\, and gouaché drawings depicting birds from noted jewellers such as Van Cleef & Arpels\, Cartier\, Buccellati\, Boucheron\, Mellerio\, Falize\, Fabergé\, Boivin\, Mauboussin\, Marchak\, Chaumet\, and JAR will be showcased alongside a selection of Middle Eastern works of art\, including carpets\, ceramics\, metalware\, and miniatures mainly notably on loan from the Sharjah Museum of Islamic Civilization and Dubai Museums. \nEmirati artist Faisal Al Rais’s contemporary photography\, showcasing the beauty and profound symbolism of birds\, will also make its public debut as part of the show. Freely inspired by Farid al-Din Attar’s The Conference of the Birds (circa 1117)\, the exhibition is conceived as a poetic experience beginning with poems from renowned poets from the region\, followed by a display of bejewelled bird species including falcons\, and culminating in an aviary of imaginary birds by French jeweller Pierre Sterlé (1905-1978). \n“Birds have long held a sacred place in the cultures of the Middle East — as symbols of freedom\, renewal\, and the human spirit\,” said Marie-Laure Cassius-Duranton\, L’ÉCOLE Senior Exhibition Contents Project Manager. “We wanted to honour that tradition while showcasing how these symbols echo across time and continents through art\, poetry\, and jewellery. This exhibition is not just about beauty\, but about the stories and meanings behind it — how the smallest motif can carry centuries of memory\, emotion\, and craftsmanship.”

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Image Keepers
DESCRIPTION:For its inaugural exhibition\, SAF’s Photography Gallery presents a panorama of artistic experimentation and engagement drawn from the Sharjah Art Foundation Collection of photography. Says the Foundation: “the works navigate the sociopolitical terrain of the last six decades against a backdrop of the compressed\, and often fissured\, processes of modernisation and decolonisation”.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Ahaad Alamoudi: Sunkissed
DESCRIPTION:Alamoudi’s snapshots of contemporary Khaleeji aesthetics playfully capture the give-and-take between developmental goals and their real-world manifestation. Viral memes\, talking falcons\, automated toy cars and insect light traps all function as tools to process accelerating change; together\, these works explore how the overarching desire for development is absorbed and rearticulated in everyday life.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Robert Powers: The City in Its Details – The Past and Future in Dubai’s Architecture
DESCRIPTION:A close look at Dubai’s urban fabric through the lens of architect and photographer Robert Powers. The exhibition traces the patterns and repetitions in architecture\, streetscapes\, industry\, and infrastructure that shapes the character of a city; taken between 2013 and 2025 in Deira and Bur Dubai\, the photographs document walkable parts of Dubai that have existed since the early days of the Union. Much of this older architecture may soon be demolished\, as its value is often unrecognised – yet these buildings hold beauty\, interest\, and cultural significance\, forming an essential part of the city’s history and collective memory. \n
