SUMMARY:Akram Khan Company: Jungle Book reimagined
DESCRIPTION:Akram Khan’s signature choreography\, blending Kathak and contemporary dance\, delivers a bold adaptation of Kipling’s classic tale which explores urgent themes such as climate change and human displacement. Akram and his team have reimagined the journey of Mowgli through the eyes of a refugee caught in a world devastated by the impact of climate change. This is the story of a child who will help us to listen again – not to our voices but to the voices of the natural world that we\, the modern world\, try to silence. \nAudiences are promised “a visually stunning and emotionally charged experience”\, which is broadly what you expect from a Khan piece … The script is by Tariq Jordan\, with dramaturgy by Sharon Clark to an original score by Jocelyn Pook. Sound design comes from Gareth Fry\, lighting by Michael Hulls\, visual stage design by Miriam Buether\, and video design and animation by YeastCulture the visual technology turns the stage into a magical world that dives into the myths of today. \nJungle Book reimagined is performed by ten dancers: Maya Balam Meyong\, Bea Bidault\, Ferghas Clavey\, Harry Theadora Foster\, Filippo Franzese\, Bianca Mikahil\, Jasper Narvaez\, Max Revell\, Matthew Sandiford\, Elpida Skourou\, Jan Mikaela Villanueva\, Lani Yamanaka. \nThis performance is supported by the British Council in the UAE. There’s a second performance on 5 April.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Slavs and Tatars: Simurgh Self-Help
DESCRIPTION:This is The Third Line’s third solo exhibition with the artist collective Slavs and Tatar\, presenting a new body of work inspired by Marcel Broodthaers’ Musée d’Art Moderne – Département des Aigles (1968-1972) – one of the most influential works of conceptual art of the 20th century. In Simurgh Self-Help\, Slavs and Tatars embark on an inventive ‘translation’ of the eagle through the lens of Simurgh\, a mythical bird deeply rooted in Turkic and Persianate folklore\, Sufi traditions\, and the literature of the Caucasus and Central Asia.

SUMMARY:Les Félins | Joy House: dir René Clément (1963)
DESCRIPTION:Alan Delon is Marc\, a petty criminal on the run from American gangsters\, who seeks refuge in a mission for the poor where wealthy widow Barbara (Lola Albright) hires him as her chauffeur and moves him to her Riviera château. Barbara’s niece (Jane Fonda) becomes attracted to Marc\, but then it gets complicated: Barbara is hiding her lover Vincent\, a bank robber sought by the police for murdering her husband\, and they’re planning to murder Marc for his passport … and the gangsters have got wind of Marc’s whereabouts. There are bodies … \nThe film is satisfyingly twisted\, almost film noir in its plotting but defiantly European in style.  It’s in French with English subtitles; the screening will be followed by a discussion with Hind Mezaina (who’s curating this season for AF). \nThe price incidentally is for non-members; for AF members it’s free.

SUMMARY:Seeking Haven for Mr Rambo: dir Khaled Mansour (2024)
DESCRIPTION:Tensions boil over when 30-year-old Cairo security guard Hassan (Essam Omar) gets into an argument with his bullish landlord Karem (Ahmed Bahaa)\, Hassan’s beloved dog Rambo steps up to defend his master via a bite to Karem’s privates. Vengeance beckons; Hassan embarks on an urgent mission to find a safe place for his canine companion\, and in the process rediscovers self-respect. \nThe feature debut from Khaled Mansour brings a distinctively gritty flavour to its vision of lives on the fringes of working class Cairo and announces Mansour as a notable talent in Egyptian independent filmmaking; the film\, which premiered in Venice’s Horizons Extra strand\, screens in the CinemaNA series and is presented by the NYUAD Film and New Media Program. \nIn Arabic with English subtitles.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Athar Jaber: Vestiges
DESCRIPTION:A solo exhibition for an artist only recently signed by Ayyam Gallery. This large body of work\, an exploration of the fragile relationship between the human form and the forces that shape it\, re-imagines the human form as figures that transcend mere physical disfigurement to serve as symbolic representations of how individuals are torn apart by the weight of the world. Athar’s sculptures embody an ideal of beauty\, but their fractured state suggests that this is in fact an illusion.\nThe artist statement speaks of human forms that emerge and recede – “fragmented\, eroded\, and incomplete\, yet alive … They appear as remnants of something once whole\, as though time has worn away at them … In the absence of features\, the viewer is invited to project their own reflections of memory\, identity\, and impermanence.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Behzad Khosravi Noori: The Life of an Itinerant Through a Pinhole
DESCRIPTION:Behzad Noori\, PhD is a self-described artist\, writer\, educator and necromancer; his research-based practice includes films\, installations\, and archival studies\, investigating histories from the Global South\, labour and the means of production\, and histories of political relationships that have existed as a counter narration to the east-west / north-south dichotomy. \nNoori uses personal experience as a springboard to establish a hypothetical relationship between memories and significant world events; this show analyses photographs made by his grandfather\, Gholamreza Amirbeigi\, between 1956 and 1968 – using images of working-class agency to consider an unconscious colonial memory and its formative influence on modern\, global southern subjectivity.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE The Things She Carries
DESCRIPTION:What does a woman carry\, literally and metaphorically? Is it the weight of expectations\, the symbols of tradition\, or the aspirations she dares to chase?

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:Public Art Abu Dhabi Biennial: Bik Van der Pol’s The poem that jumps the fence

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.
