Each channel reveals intimate narratives\, from Honey’s complex personality to Toutou’s pivotal role in raising Tawakol and Hosneia’s nurturing presence. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Diana Al-Hadid
DESCRIPTION:A preview of Al-Hadid’s Art Dubai exhibits in advance of the art fair\, showing in the Plaza at One Za’abeel in partnership with Galleri Brandstrup and Bureau Safavid. We’re promised “a dialogue between memory\, architecture\, and cultural identity”; Al-Hadid’s richly allegorical work explores the interplay of sky and landscape as a compositional foundation via her characteristic controlled dripping technique. By engaging with architectural forms\, Al-Hadid’s work considers the impermanence of civilization and the ambiguous presence of the human figure. Guided tours between 2 and 4pm on 9\, 10 and 11 April should give more insights into the artist’s intricate process\, philosophy\, and impact. To 15 April. \nAbove: Diana Al-Hadid\, Dreams of Damascus

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Dance Will Be You
DESCRIPTION:Efie Gallery continues its commendable promotion of artists of African origin with this group show featuring María Magdalena Campos-Pons\, ahead of her debut solo exhibition in the Middle East at Efie in April\, alongside works by JK Bruce-Vanderpuije\, Dina Nur Satti and Myles Igwebuike. The gallery says the exhibition “offers a nuanced exploration of the symbolic and performative dimensions within contemporary African art\, focusing on themes of contemplation\, devotion\, and transcendence – each of which resonates with deeper cultural narratives. \nIt’s certainly an interesting group: María Magdalena Campos-Pons is an internationally acclaimed artist whose work explores themes of memory\, identity\, and history\, drawing from her Cuban and Yoruba heritage. JK Bruce-Vanderpuije (1899 – 1989)\,has an extensive archive of photography documenting the cultural history from West Africa. Dina Nur Satti creates ceramics deeply influenced by her studies of African art and pre-colonial African societies. And Myles Igwebuike explores the Mbari houses of Igbo culture in his design practice.

SUMMARY:Living Continuity: Urban Workshop Series No.1 – Navigating neighborhoods through emotion
DESCRIPTION:This is the first in a series of urban workshops by Sharjah Architecture Triennial offering an opportunity to critically reflect on our practices and roles as urban dwellers and/or practitioners. Workshops are based in Al Jubail “which offers both a spatial construct and conceptual scaffold to facilitate the exploration of the convergence of historical\, social\, ecological\, and economic urban systems … This space is intended as both a real and hypothetical environment to explore what it means for us to practice from a neighbourhood while remaining sensitive to it”. \nThe workshops are led by artists\, researchers and writers who have been invited to offer both insights and tools; this opener is led by Bhoomika Ghaghada\, whose writing concerns structural inequalities and trauma and how they shape everyday realities in the Gulf. Her workshop will explore how the city isn’t static\, and how we may resist the impulse to capture or contain it – “we will begin telling stories from place\, not about“. \nThe evening begins at 7.15pm with an Iftar\, group introductions\, and warm-up exercises at Old Al Jubail Vegetable Market plaza. From 9pm there’s an hour’s walk from Old Al Jubail Vegetable Market along Sharjah Corniche\, regrouping at 10pm for discussion.

SUMMARY:PowerPointless Networking Night
DESCRIPTION:One of the most consistently funny of the Courtyard’s classic improv gigs is back after a couple of months’ hiatus: the speakers have to give a presentation on a slide deck they’ve never seen before\, with the topic determined at random by the Wheel of Destiny. Each presentation will be rated by a panel of judges and the winner applauded as the PowerPointless champion. Afterwards there’s a chance to mingle with the presenters and the Courtyard’s Corporate Team for an iftar (and a chance to find out more about the Courtyard’s Corporate Academy). \nReigning champion Rami Boraie will be matched up against Saaniya Abbas\, Kyle Herselman\, and Ahmed Al Achrafi. \nIt’s free\, with donations welcome; but you need to put your name on the guestlist via the website. It’s first-come first-served\, so get there early to grab a seat. \n

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Melis Buyruk: Four Birds and One Soul
DESCRIPTION:Buyruk is known for her intricate and otherworldly creations\, she has long explored the themes of harmony and individuality in nature. This new body of work\, however\, takes a more introspective turn\, reflecting on the barriers that humans create within themselves. \nThe collection is inspired by the story of the four birds from the fifth book of the Masnavi\, each representing a different aspect of the human condition: rooster for lust\, goose for greed\, crow for materialism\, and peacock for pride. Through her unique porcelain sculptures\, Buyruk transforms these symbolic concepts into tangible forms; her works juxtapose the fragility and strength of porcelain to echo the tension between human limitations and the potential for transcendence.

SUMMARY:Wednesday Night Impro: Maestro
DESCRIPTION:The Courtyard’s most peopular evening of elimination improv. Ten actors converge for a night of scenes\, songs and games based on audience suggestions. After each round you score the players on a scale of 1 to 5\, and the one with the lowest score is knocked out. Eventually only one remains\, to be crowned the Maestro. “Fast-paced\, unpredictable\, and hilarious” says the promo\, and you couldn’t argue with that. As with all Courtyard improv evenings it’s free\, but you need to put your name on the guestlist (via the website); and it’s first-come first-served\, so get there early to grab a seat. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Edyta Hul: Savage System
DESCRIPTION:A solo exhibition by the Polish artist that “plunges into the fluid\, recursive entanglements of organic abstraction”\, as the gallery puts it. “Her work suggests an alternative realm – an autonomous system where anthropocentric hierarchies dissolve\, leaving behind a world governed by its own primal forces … Her paintings reject binary oppositions of culture and nature\, offering instead an unfolding field of organic proliferation\, independent of human intervention”.
