SUMMARY:CineMAS – Under the Fig Tree: dir Erige Sehiri (2022)
DESCRIPTION:In northwest Tunisia\, young women work the summer harvest. Largely improvised and set on a single day\, this film by Erige Sehiri (who is perhaps better known as a documentary maker) packs argument\, gossip\, romance and social criticism into a busy day of fruit picking in Northern Tunisia. Friendships\, enmities\, generational and political disputes and embryonic and failed love affairs are revealed to us … Highly recommended. \nThis film opens the CineMAS contemporary Arab cinema series\, a mini-festival of independent films curated by Hind Mezaina and presented by the NYUAD Film and New Media Program in partnership with the NYUAD Arts Center. Day tickets are AED 30\, weekend (Saturday & Sunday) tickets are AED 50\, a full-week pass is AED 150.

SUMMARY:Aziza Brahim Tabal Quartet: Live In Sharjah
DESCRIPTION:Sharjah Art Foundation presents the Queen of Western Sahara Desert Blues Aziza Brahim and her Tabal Quartet live in Sharjah as part of the Sharjah Biennial 15 Music Programme. \nBorn and raised in the Saharawi refugee camps on the frontier between Algeria and Western Sahara\, Brahim reflects both the sorrow and the hope of her people in her music. Her latest album Sahari is a stunner\, showcasing Aziza’s vocal performance and compositions on a series of elegantly produced songs about the migrant experience\, and about the contrast between the desert and the metropolis\, between Africa and Europe\, between traditional and modern … \nThe concert features Aziza Brahim (lead vocals\, tabal)\, Ignasi Cussò (electric guitar)\, Guillem Aguilar (bass) and Andreu Moreno (percussion).

SUMMARY:Sol: dir Marie-Helene Cousineau (2014)
DESCRIPTION:The second of two films by Cousineau explores the death of a young Inuk man\, Solomon Tapatiaq Uyarasuk\, who is found dead in a remote Inuit community. The locals suspect murder\, but the police suggest suicide. As the film investigates Solomon’s death\, it sheds light on the underlying social issues of Canada’s North\, a region with one of the highest youth suicide rates in the world. The film explores how the pain of suicide has affected the people in these small communities\, their resilience\, and their efforts to create a better future for their people. \nThis is the final screening in the Sharjah Biennial 15 Film Programme.

SUMMARY:Black Grace: Paradise Rumour
DESCRIPTION:This premiere by the New Zealand contemporary dance company Black Grace was commissioned by Sharjah Art Foundation for SB15; it’s a development of the company’s 2009 work Gathering Clouds\, which responded to prejudice and xenophobia against Pacific migrants in New Zealand. Asking ‘how far have we really come since then?’\, Paradise Rumour deals with personal and collective memories and experiences of the Pacific Island community\, starting with the arrival of the missionaries. \nFounded in 1995 in Auckland by artistic director Neil Iermia\, a dancer and choreographer of Samoan descent\, the company incorporates elements of contemporary dance into Indigenous Samoan and Maori movement patterns. Informed by the narrative traditions of the South Pacific\, their performances engage audiences with a gamut of musical genres\, from Bach and Vivaldi to Samoan hip hop to the electropop stylings of Lorde; their group’s choreographic range juxtaposes the dynamism of high-paced acrobatics with the vulnerability of theatrical narrative\, braiding these elements together into a universal physical language. \nRecommended. Admission is free\, but space is limited and prior booking is advisable.

SUMMARY:Lamya Gargash: Isthmus
DESCRIPTION:Lamya Gargash’s fifth solo show at the gallery celebrates the artist’s poetics of space\, recounting human experiences throughout different geographies without the direct presence of the human figure. “Photographing selections of objects\, furniture pieces\, window details\, and wall trimmings speaks louder than the sum of these individual design decisions – each interior element embodies a human quality and expectations of audience preferences of a certain decade\, socio-economic situation\, and culture.” \nThe title is a metaphor for capturing interiors in spaces as disparate as the Cultural Foundation in Abu Dhabi\, Hotel Acao in Atami\, and the QE2 in Dubai. The viewer is invited to look around the exhibition with a blank mind and guess which photograph was taken where … \nCurated by Sophie Mayuko Arni; runs in Gallery 1 at The Third Line to 21 July.

SUMMARY:Shabahang Tayyari: Stop counting the waves following me\, you seabirds!
DESCRIPTION:This solo exhibition explores themes of uniformity\, replication\, flatness\, originality\, fiction\, and exclusivity within the frame of each painting\, but also between the different frames\, and throughout the overall arrangement of the works. \nThe deliberate arrangement of the paintings\, with four triangular corner pieces along with the orientation of the waves purposefully guides viewers on a clockwise journey through the exhibition. Numbered and titled in tandem\, the waves evoke the three-dimensional maquettes traditionally employed by performers to emulate the fluid motion of the ocean\, while their outline drawings are informed by the curves and harmonies of Persian-Arabic calligraphy. \nRuns in Gallery 2 at The Third Line to 21 July.

SUMMARY:Bady Dalloul: A country without a door and a window
DESCRIPTION:Bady Dalloul’s solo show comprises a series of 200 miniature drawings displayed inside pocket matchboxes. The vividly coloured and seemingly childlike images sharply contrast with the harsh reality of the stories they depict of the Syrian civil war; by re-appropriating images from the media\, Dalloul invokes a deeply personal and emotive connection to the conflict. \nThis body of work offers an intimate glimpse into Dalloul’s childhood\, rooted in the games he played with his brother at the age of ten. The drawings are inspired by the fictional countries that Dalloul and his brother created by adding new elements to the visible depictions on postage stamps using black pen and coloured pencil to create new geopolitical territories. Dalloul later refined this technique to explore how propaganda and folklore images contribute to the construction of identities. \nTo 21 July.

SUMMARY:Faustin Linyekula: My Body\, My Archive
DESCRIPTION:Faustin Linyekula is a contemporary dancer and choreographer whose style incorporates the quick\, syncopated rhythms of the West African dance style of Ndombolo. Linyekula’s focus is on notions of loss\, memory and the legacies of war and terror; exploring the fear associated with violent conflict and its debilitating effect on communities\, he expresses the affective qualities of lived and shared experiences through movement. \nThe current work\, part of the Sharjah Biennial 15 performance programme\, is co-produced by Théâtre National de la danse\, Théâtre Vidy-Lausanne; it attempts to unearth the suppressed stories of the Congolese village he has been working with. Local artist Gbaga sculpts the missing women of Linyekula’s maternal clan; bringing the sculptures to the stage\, Linyekula summons\, converses and dances with their spirits. \nThis performance is free to attend\, but advance booking is required.

SUMMARY:Giampiero Romanò: Fragile\, Handle with Care
DESCRIPTION:Romanò combines artistic creativity with his skills in restoration and preservation. He works with antique mirrors and frames\, transforming used pieces of framed mirrors into whole new entities; “Romanò’s ‘mirrors could look rich and beautiful\, yet they are extremely fragile\, exactly like people” as the gallery puts it. And “the artworks are also a representation of a journey to parallel temporal universes and are signs of revolution on the conventional in a bid for change”. \nPast\, present\, and future find a way to co-exist in his artworks. They combine history and memories (the old frames) with the present (people’s faces reflected in the mirrors)\, and he leaves room for the future.”We the human beings are the mirror\, the element that should give cohesion to the frame which is our history\,” he says. \nTo 17 September.
