SUMMARY:Fatima | MINOVA
DESCRIPTION:Two examples of the next wave of UAE artistry in one evening of deeply personal\, genre-blurring performances. Fatima\, better known as FAFA\, is an artist from Abu Dhabi with roots in both the UAE and Honduras; through sonic storytelling that blends R&B and soul with Arabian jazz\, she aims to guide the listener toward truth and peace from within. Viral indie-star MINOVA brings raw\, melancholic storytelling to life\, bridging the gap between intimate bedroom recordings and global electronic pop appeal.

SUMMARY:Laila Majid and Inaam Zafar: Body Quotidian
DESCRIPTION:Recent works by Laila Majid and Inaam Zafar that explore the human body and its presence in contemporary life through metaphor and symbolism. In Majid’s practice\, sculptural and photographic works unfold through slow revelation; Zafar’s practice explores themes of death and decay\, while foregrounding the body as a perishable entity. Bringing together these works\, Body Quotidian explores how light\, material\, gesture and atmosphere filters bodily experience; Moving between domestic scenes and abstraction\, the exhibition reflects on the quiet\, everyday moments through which the body continues to shape how we see and inhabit the world. \nBody Quotidian is curated by Raja’a Khalid\, Assistant Curator at Sharjah Art Foundation. To 20 September. \nAbove: Laila Majid\, dressing for pleasure 01 (2024). Below: Inaam Zafar\, Mourners (2026) \n \n

SUMMARY:100th Anniversary of Maya Plisetskaya
DESCRIPTION:Maya Plisetskaya (1925 – 2015) was a Bolshoi star as dancer and choreographer. As a dancer\, she developed “an individual\, iconoclastic style that capitalised on her electrifying stage presence” as ballet historian Tim Scholl put it. “Her very personal style was angular\, dramatic\, and theatrical … Those who saw Plisetskaya’s first performances in the West still speak of her ability to wrap the theatre in her gaze\, to convey powerful emotions in terse gestures”. Another commentator wrote that “she began by creating her own style and ended up creating her own theatre”. \nThis gala programme\, celebrating the centenary of her birth\, is danced by soloists from some of Russia’s most prestigious ballet theatres including the Bolshoi and the Mariinsky; the evening will feature pieces from her repertoire that have become part of ballet history\, the kind of technically demanding roles in which she excelled – Alberto Alonso’s Carmen Suite\, the Dying Swan\, Don Quixote; excerpts from Swan Lake\, Sleeping Beauty\, The Stone Flower\, Yakobson’s Spartacus\, Raymonda\, Walpurgis Night\, Shurale\, Laurencia; and the choreographic miniature Melody from the opera Orpheus and Eurydice.

SUMMARY:Yahael Camara Onono: Mandé Maqamāt 
DESCRIPTION:Beyond trade routes and history books lies a deeper current: shared rhythms\, spiritual traditions\, and cultural echoes that have travelled for centuries across deserts and oceans alike. Mandé Maqamāt invites audiences into a world where the Gulf meets the vast musical landscapes of West Africa; the award-winning West African percussionist Yahael Camara Onono (founder and bandleader of the Balimaya Project) is joined by a collective of virtuosos from the region and its diaspora to transform The Black Box into a laboratory of spontaneous exploration with an evening of deep Mandé grooves\, soaring Arabic maqamāt\, and fearless improvisation.

SUMMARY:Made in the UAE
DESCRIPTION:A group exhibition for seven UAE-based artists – Ahmed Emad (UAE/Egypt)\, Anila Ashraf (Pakistan)\, Camelia Mohebi (UAE)\, Elizaveta Pugacheva (Russia)\, Samo Shalaby (Egypt/Palestine)\, Sasan Nasernia (Iran) and Yousif Albadi (Sudan) – chosen from more than 300 submissions received through an open call. The gallery’s founder\, Jean-David Malat\, reported that “the level of submissions we received was incredibly strong and demonstrated the depth of talent currently shaping the UAE’s cultural landscape. What stood out was not only the quality of the work\, but the diversity of perspectives and experiences represented. These artists reflect the international and layered identity that makes Dubai such a compelling creative city today …” Selected by a jury including Zina Khair\, Roxane Zand\, Ali Mohammadioun and Malat himself\, the exhibition explores themes of identity\, memory\, materiality and cultural exchange and promises “a snapshot of the diverse artistic voices currently shaping the UAE’s contemporary art landscape”. To 1 July. \nAbove: Samo Shalaby\, Genesis (2025) \n

SUMMARY:Wednesday Night Impro: Maestro
DESCRIPTION:The Courtyard’s popular 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:La Vallée des Fous (Sailing Home): dir Xavier Beauvois (2024)
DESCRIPTION:Jean-Paul is not a bad guy by any means\, but he is going through a rough patch – pp to his ears in debts\, he pulls away from his family and takes refuge in the bottle. But\, inside\, he dreams of adventure; and he projects these fantasies onto the Vendée Globe\, the famous single-handed\, round-the-world yacht race\, an event which he sort-of took part in … by sitting in front of his computer and joining Virtual Regatta (alongside a million other internet users). This time round\, he decides to take the virtual challenge seriously – it does after all have a €150\,000 prize for the winner – and he elects to confine himself to the boat parked in the garden of his restaurant for three whole months. Jean-Paul equips himself with all the gear – wind turbine\, a solar panel\, food rations\, medical supplies – under the dubious but loving eyes of his father and daughter. And then the day of the departure arrives … \nIn French with English subtitles. The film screens as part of the NAAS Film Festival\, a collaboration between several international cultural institutions in the UAE that screens independent films which highlight socially relevant themes.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Urdu Worlds
DESCRIPTION:A contemporary art exhibition dedicated to the Urdu language: according to Ishara\, “the show explores how language provides the tools with which we create and shape our internal ‘worlds’. Words\, rather than simply describing our surroundings\, give rise to our private lived experiences and shared cultural understandings”. \nCurated by Hammad Nasar\, the exhibition is a visual conversation around language between Ali Kazim and Zarina (it’s also the first comprehensive presentation of Kazim’s works in the GCC). Born in Aligarh\, India\, Zarina weaves Urdu script\, proverbs and poetry into her delicate print works; Ali Kazim\, a multimedia artist based in Lahore\, Pakistan\, grounds his ‘Urdu world’ in a sense of place while exhibiting an eclecticism of influences that reflects the composite and layered history of the language.
