SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE The Dice Player: Mahmoud Darwish
DESCRIPTION:A celebration of the life and work of the great Palestinian poet (b.1941  d.2008) that unfolds across six themed sections – The Son explores his childhood in Al-Birwa; The Poet highlights his early literary beginnings; The Exiled follows his displacement and travels; The Lover examines the role of love in his work; The Activist reflects his national commitment and the transformation of language into struggle; and The Absent Presence commemorates his enduring human and artistic legacy. \nRather than a biography\, the exhibition traces the evolution of his work through words\, images\, and music\, reflecting his vision of life and poetry; it offers an interactive artistic and cultural journey\, using AV technology to immerse visitors in Mahmoud Darwish’s poetry and prose. .

SUMMARY:Sara Naim: From the Perspective of Language
DESCRIPTION:Sara Naim’s fourth solo show at the gallery is also her first public exhibition of paintings\, large-scale works produced between 2023 and 2026 that move between figuration and abstraction. The exhibition is accompanied by a new video performance\, Mother Practices Her Tongue (2026)\, which “abstracts the Arabic language into gestures and sounds that no longer produce coherent meaning … Together\, the paintings and video extend Naim’s ongoing investigation into how meaning is constructed through inherited systems such as language\, symbols\, and ideology”. \nTo 31 May. \nAbove: Sara Naim\, Skin 8 (2025) \n

SUMMARY:Douglas White: The Great Wave
DESCRIPTION:Throughout his practice\, White approaches sculpture as a kind of material alchemy – discarded substances are reworked forms that appear uncannily animate: industrial debris becomes wave\, tree\, or cosmic surface\, revealing unexpected continuities between natural forces and technological systems. \nTwo sculptures form the centre of the exhibition. In The Great Wave (after Hokusai)\, fragments of torn tyre rubber collected from roadsides around the world gather into a dense\, turbulent crest that rises above the viewer – one of the most recognisable images in art history\, understood as a moment of impending force poised above fragile human lives. And the monumental Black Palm rises through the gallery like an improbable organism\, assembled from lengths of discarded tyre rubber\, its trunk and fronds have presence of a living structure – an artificial tree grown from the residues of global mobility. \nAcross the exhibition White’s works reveal the hidden energies that shape material form. In the Lichtenberg Drawings\, high-voltage electrical discharges burn branching patterns directly into the surface of wood\, creating lightning-like structures that emerge through the interaction of energy and resistance. And the electroformed Black Sun works develop slowly through the accumulation of copper in electrically charged baths\, allowing metallic surfaces to crystallise over time. \nTo 6 May.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Kais Salman: Remnants
DESCRIPTION:New work by Kais Salman\, who “places his audience among ruins … his recent body of work acting as a pile of forgotten images buried beneath decades of historical buildup … Faces emerge through Salman’s energetic brushwork\, only to fade back into the walls and dissolve into material debris. Therefore\, rendering his paintings as spaces of loss …” Recognised for his very characteristic abstract expressionist style\, Salman’s energetic brushwork and gestural application of acrylics in vibrant colours express an urgency and energy\,  “a space where introspection transforms into insight”.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Saher Nassar: Chronicles from the Storm
DESCRIPTION:In this new body of work\, Nassar reflects on prolonged states of loss\, endurance\, and moral exhaustion\, translating deeply personal and collective experiences across multiple mediums. Says the gallery: “Rather than seeking resolution or catharsis\, the works dwell in a state of moral exhaustion where clarity is suspended and certainty dissolves. This prolonged experience becomes a reluctant muse\, granting the artist the distance needed to engage more deeply with his subject matter: studies of loss\, the collapse of familiar symbols\, the formation of new convictions\, and an intimacy with endurance that arrives without epiphany or closure …”

DESCRIPTION:This solo show includes works created over several years\, using acrylic\, pastel\, ink\, charcoal\, and found materials such as wood\, fabric\, and recycled objects. At the centre of the exhibition is the recurring image of the chair\, appearing as a symbol of structure\, expectation\, and imposed identity.

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:LAST CHANCE :mentalKLINIK: Are You Human Enough
DESCRIPTION:Set within an environment of visual overload and compulsive accumulation\, the work in this third solo exhibition at the gallery for the artist duo centres on the human figure at risk of dissolving into surface\, interface\, and pattern – a mere carrier of data and aesthetic signals. \nThe exhibition brings together a video work featuring the MetaHuman Viola (from the series Lunatic Poet\, 2024)\, whose fragmented speech echoes the pressures of contemporary digital life; and LIKEWISE (2025: above)\, a 360-degree installation composed of camouflaged mirrored panels – printed surfaces depicting parrots\, lobsters\, manicured hands\, lipstick\, and jewellery are physically disrupted through smearing and erosion\, merging digital production with manual intervention. Camouflage patterns\, advertising references\, and fractured reflections interrupt clear vision\, producing moments of visual saturation and pause …

SUMMARY:The Red Turtle: dir Michaela Dudoka De Wita (2016)
DESCRIPTION:An animated fantasy drama with no dialogue that tells the story of a man shipwrecked on an uninhabited island. His attempts to escape are foiled by what turns out to be a giant red hawksbill sea turtle; she turns into a red-haired woman\, they reconcile\, and they live together on the island … Suspended between reality and a dream\, this poetic story is a meditation on beauty\, nature and the stages of human life. An Oscar nominee and an award-winner from Cannes\, the film was a co-production of legendary Studio Ghibli and a number of French production companies. \nHighly recommended. Screens in support of the Abu Dhabi Sea Turtle Rehabilitation Project in collaboration with The National Aquarium and the Environment Agency. \n

SUMMARY:Anirban Dasgupta: Cry Daddy
DESCRIPTION:Anirban Dasgupta returns to Dubai with his third stand-up special\, fresh from its debut last year at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and a successful run at the Soho Theatre in London. \nKolkata born and Mumbai based\, Anirban Dasgupta comes across as mild-mannered and playful. But this cleverly structured show is sharper and more carefully honed than this might imply … His childhood dream was to become a sportsman. Now a new father navigating the chaotic second half of his life\, he’s wondering whether everything – from comedy to parenting – is actually just a game. Who’s winning? Who’s losing? And does anyone really know the score? \nThe show unfolds as an immersive stand-up match played with the audience\, where each joke is scored and the contest continues until the final punchline. With yellow cards\, half-time pep talks\, trash talking\, and shirt swapping\, the audience becomes part of the action\, left debating scores and outcomes as the show goes down to the wire … \nThe evening will be hosted and opened by Arpit Varshne\, who quit a perfectly good job as a Dubai radio jockey to move to India ain the pursuit of stand-up comedy greatness. Sharp\, self-aware\, and just the right amount of unhinged\, Arpit sets the tone before Anirban takes the mic …

SUMMARY:Move Pause Return
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Isabelle is celebrating its 20th anniversary\, not least with this interesting exhibition that grew out of a conversation with Alexie Glass-Kantor\, Curatorial Director at Art Dubai Group\, around the notion of accumulation – as both a curatorial method and a lived experience. So for this 20-day exhibition\, 20 artists have been invited to participate – “artists … who were present from the very beginning\, who helped build the ecosystem alongside us\, and who have grown\, persisted\, and moved forward together over time”. \nThe aim is to reflect “an accumulated history of stories\, relationships\, and artistic development … Accumulation here speaks to first encounters and decisive turning points\, to emblematic works that shifted narratives\, to new introductions\, neighbours\, and the wider community that has enabled the gallery to remain present\, relevant\, responsive\, and adaptable across two decades”. \nThe exhibition itself features one new work each day during the run: writers\, collectors\, and curators have been invited to engage closely with a selected work\, contributing a short text that responds to their encounter with it. The 20 days will culminate in a reception at the gallery on 11 April\, where all works will be exhibited simultaneously to mark “a collective celebration of the scene we have built\, sustained\, and continue to shape together”.

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:LAST CHANCE Anahita Razmi: The Task of the Mythologist
DESCRIPTION:Anahita Razmi’s video\, installation and performance works usually focus on issues of identity and gender and examine processes of cultural appropriation in which the meanings of existing images\, artefacts and thus identities are put into question by situating them in another context. Her sixth solo exhibition at the gallery references Roland Barthes’ Mythologies (1957)\, a seminal work on the subject that examines how culture turns mundane objects and practices into myths that convey ideological meanings; Razmi builds on this premise to find global power structures embedded in our material and virtual; for her\, symbols such as the fingers-crossed emoji\, a Turkish talismanic shirt\, or a 90s Britpop emblem hold unstable meanings\, shifting with context and use. The act of deconstructing these layered meanings is what Barthes describes as “the task of the mythologist.” \nFor Razmi’s ongoing Talismanic Polarities series (2021–present)\, unique Islamic talismanic shirts are pinned with buttons reading YES\, BUT\, NO and AND; “by foregrounding these semantic framing devices\, Razmi incorporates tools of interpretation into a renewed reading of an object that sustains multiple and even conflicting possibilities” says the gallery. \nA new work\, OA SIS (2025) features Oasis band T-shirts with evil eye appliqués covering the OA so that only SIS remains:  a signifier of Western masculinity revised into one of Eastern femininity or a comment on the commercialisation of feminism? Or both? Or more?
