SUMMARY:Ballaké Sissoko & Derek Gripper / Maryna Krut
DESCRIPTION:A really interesting evening of contrasting but complementary music by performers who are all making their UAE debuts. \nBallaké Sissoko & Derek Gripper \nMalian virtuoso Ballaké Sissoko has taken over the mantle of greatest living kora master\, with an ability to unlock every possible nuance on the kora with subtleties rarely heard on any instrument. Derek Gripper is a classical guitarist from South Africa whose own love of the kora set him transcribing and recording some of the greatest works of the instrument. The two met in 2022 in Paris; they have no common verbal language yet managed to perform a complete show together with completely improvised music. Their performances and recordings since then are all achieved without any verbal communication\, just a mutual love of their shared repertoire and the possibilities of the plucked string; the result is not unlike classical chamber music\, with the music flowing freely between improvisation and quotation. \nMaryna Krut \nThe war in Ukraine transformed Maryna Krut from being a performer updating a beautiful tradition of music to being a witness testifying to people around the world about the devastating conflict in her homeland. She uses her powerful voice and her command of the bandura\, a traditional Ukrainian instrument that looks like a cross between a lute and a zither\, to fuse the music of her country with jazz and other influences to bring the story and culture of Ukraine to the world. \n \n

SUMMARY:Sharjah Film Platform 8
DESCRIPTION:Sharjah Art Foundation’s annual celebration of indie/experimental cinema returns for its eighth edition from 14 to 23 November 2025 with an expanded lineup of films\, talks and artist development programmes. Screenings and events will take place at Mirage City Cinema\, SAF’s open-air theatre in Arts Square\, plus VOX Cinemas in City Centre Al Zahia. \nOpening the 10-day festival is Baab (2025)\, a new fantasy film by Nayla Al Khaja that blurs the boundaries between the living and the dead. The programme also includes Carissa (2024 – still above)\, a coming-of-age drama from South Africa; Put Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk (2025) which documents the exchange between the late citizen journalist Fatema Hassona in Gaza and the filmmaker Sepideh Farsi; and five shorts produced through the SFP Short Film Production Grant – Saint Andrews (2025) by Erin Nene-Lee Ramirez; Yathoom (2025) by Hana Kazim; L’mina (2025) by Randa Maroufi; Goat (2024) by Judy Kibinge; and Morgenkreis [Morning Circle] (2025) by Basma Alsharif. \nAt the heart of SFP is the Competition section\, which features 27 documentary and fiction films nominated by an committee of filmmakers and industry experts and selected from films released in the past two years. All these are being screened in the UAE for the first time; a number of screenings will be followed by Q&A sessions with the directors. \nThe Director in Focus segment honours regional directors for their lifetime achievements in global cinema. This year the accolade goes to Jocelyne Saab (1948–2019)\, whose politically engaged documentaries and experimental features continue to inspire generations of filmmakers. The festival will be showing four of Saab’s films: Dunia\, Kiss Me Not on the Eyes (2005); Once Upon a Time in Beirut (1995); South Lebanon: The Story of a Village under Siege (1976); and Les Femmes palestiniennes (Palestinian Women) (1974). A special discussion panel features filmmaker\, producer and researcher Mohanad Yaqubi with Mathilde Rouxel\, President of the Jocelyne Saab Association. \nNew this year is First Takes\, organised by Sharjah Art Foundation in collaboration with AUS\, MYUAD\, the University of Sharjah\, and Zayed University. It spotlights short experimental works by UAE-based students and recent graduates. In addition to the film screenings\, there will also be a public roundtable addressing the challenges and opportunities for emerging filmmakers in the UAE. \nThe full programme is here; most feature tickets are a bargain AED 15\, some screenings are free.

SUMMARY: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. . \nThe title of course refers to one of his best-known poems: \nWho am I to say to you\nwhat I say to you?\nI was not a stone polished by water\nand became a face\nnor was I a cane punctured by the wind\nand became a flute… \nI am a dice player\,\nSometimes I win and sometimes I lose\nI am like you\nor slightly less … \nTo 13 March.

SUMMARY:Nick Brandt: The Day May Break Chapter Four – The Echo of Our Voices
DESCRIPTION:The Day May Break (2021–) is an ongoing global series portraying people and animals whose lives have been profoundly affected by environmental degradation and destruction. This fourth chapter of the series was photographed in Jordan\, one of the most water-scarce countries in the world\, and features portraits of refugee families who fled the war in Syria and now live in Jordan – an ongoing displacement largely driven by the effects of climate change. Many are forced to relocate multiple times each year\, following seasonal agricultural work and scarce rainfall. \nThis chapter in the series is a testament to connection and resilience — an affirmation that even when all else is lost\, we still have one another. Photographic historian Philip Prodger has described the series as “a landmark body of work by one of photography’s great environmental champions … Channelling his outrage into quiet determination\, the result is a portrait of us all\, at a critical moment in the Anthropocene”. \nTo 23 December.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Whispers of the Past
DESCRIPTION:This Aisha Alabbar Gallery exhibition in collaboration with Sotheby’s Middle East features five artists whose works explore the quiet persistence of memory and cultural inheritance – Najat Makki\, Khalid Al Banna\, Sara Al Haddad\, Sara Aref Ahli\, and Samar Hejazi. Says the gallery: “each artist approaches the idea of the ‘past’ through a distinct visual language whether through the tactile layers of textile\, the fragility of glass\, or the expressive gesture of abstract form. Together\, their works trace the emotional contours of personal and collective histories. Material becomes memory; thread\, light\, and pigment act as conduits for reflection …”

SUMMARY:Banksy
DESCRIPTION:Paris-based CHAMPOP Galerie opened an outpost in Downtown Dubai this summer. It specialises in pop art and street art\, and its first full-scale exhibition in Dubai features Banksy. On show are several originals plus screenprints and limited editions; the former\, for example\, include Never Liked This Banksy (2013)\, a characteristic stencil and spray paint piece on rendered brick that was removed by the building’s owners before the site was redeveloped. \nThe prints (like The Grannies below – unsigned but authenticated) will probably be a better representation of the artist’s work\, but it’s always interesting to see a chunk of original Banksy even if it’s no longer in situ … \n \n

SUMMARY:Dhai Dubai
DESCRIPTION:Dhai Dubai\, Dubai Culture’s light art exhibition\, has a very specific remit: just seven works but seven artists\, all Emirati. The theme for this second edition of the show is ‘Light Influences Life’. \nThe artists represent an interesting selection\, and the co-curators Amna Abulhoul and Anthony Bastic deserve credit for their choice. None are associated primarily with light art\, though Ahmad AlAreef would probably regard himself as a multidisciplinary artist who works with photography\, painting\, and sculpture; and both Hessa Alghandi and AlZaina Lootah work in 3D with practices that includes architecture and design. Fatma Lootah\, Mohammed Kazem and Khalid Al Banna are three well-known and well-established names with 2D and 3D work in their CVs; and the wildcard may be jewellery designer Alia Bin Omair. \nThere’s a programme of workshops for kids aaged 3-10\, and one bookable workshop for adults – Mobile Mastery After Dark\, a smartphone photography class that promises to help you master the art of low-light photography. It runs daily 12-18 November\, 5-9pm\, at House of Arts\, Floor 5; it’s free\, but pre-register here for your preferred date. \nDhai Dubai is at Al Wasl Plaza in Expo City\, 6pm to 11pm. \n \n  \n

SUMMARY:Marwan Sahmani: Rupture Into Light
DESCRIPTION:A solo exhibition of works (some never seen before) by the Lebanese artist “whose works emerge from the intersection of identity\, contradiction and modernisation” as the gallery has it. Born in the 1970s in war-torn Beirut\, Sahmani embodies Lebanon’s complex cultural context – where Mediterranean modernism crosses with Arab heritage: his bold abstract expressionism echoes the emotional turmoil of Lebanese history. \n

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Ruba Salameh: Refined Compositions
DESCRIPTION:In the face of genocide\, Palestinian artist Ruba Salameh finds her way forward through abstract painting – weaving her own narrative while connecting across generations to the work of art historian and artist Kamal Boullata. \nThis exhibition reflects primarily on the persistence of certain symbols\, such as the Palestinian flag\, in the work of Palestinian artists. Reducing the colour palette as a gesture encouraged Salameh to revisit an act similar to that of other Palestinian artists before her\, as an act of reclamation. It revealed how\, even with the passing of time\, these visual elements have remained charged with urgency and continue to inhabit the thoughts and practices of Palestinian artists.

SUMMARY:Christos Papadopoulos: Mellowing
DESCRIPTION:In his new production the Greek choreographer Christos Papadopoulos embarks on his inaugural collaboration with the dancers of the Dance On Ensemble\, a group that features performers aged more than 40. Incorporating their knowledge and experience into the creation\, together they explore moments of perception and intensities of the moment that create a lively restlessness\, a permanent vibration in which the spectator is inevitably involved … \nChristos Papadopoulos’ works are fed by an intensely observant approach to movement and often unfold with a lively and meditative power. His attention is focused on the minimal shifts of perception\, the perpetual\, often unnoticed and yet powerful movements that are ever-present in nature\, in everyday life\, within physical phenomena and political contexts. The result promises a memorable and perhaps profound experience. \nIn the theatre foyer at 7.30pm there’s a 20-minute Moving Introduction to the piece. This interactive session invites the audience to explore two to three movement approaches from the choreography – no dance experience is needed\, “just a bit of curiosity”. \nMellowing is presented in partnership with the Goethe-Institut Gulf Region. Use the code MELLOWING20 for a discount on the ticket price. \nAnd if you want more\, there’s a two-hour Choreographic Laboratory 40+ in the afternoon led by Laura Böttinger\, a senior dancer with the Dance On Ensemble. Again\, no prior experience is needed – just a willingness to explore movement. The workshop runs 4-6pm at the Cultural Foundation; it’s free\, but pre-register here.
