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?

SUMMARY:Abdulqader Al Rais: Al Nayed
DESCRIPTION:A retrospective for one of the artists who have played a central role in shaping the UAE’s modern visual identity\, featuring work from a career spanning more than five decades. Bridging heritage and modernity with authority\, Al Rais’s paintings draw deeply on Emirati heritage\, Islamic culture\, and the interplay between the UAE’s natural landscapes and architecture. As the gallery puts it\, “Al Nayed captures the cultural transformation of the UAE without nostalgia”. \nThe exhibition include rare works from the artist’s private collection and a selection of previously unseen new work\, but also draws substantially from five of the artist’s best known series – Alghaf\, inspired by the ghaf tree\, a national symbol of the UAE; Calligraphy (Hurufiyya)\, where Arabic letters function as visual and spiritual forms; Impressionism\, early depictions of UAE landscapes rendered with soft\, atmospheric brushstrokes; Alhaa\, a distinctive series of watercolours on paper; and Abstract\, which combines geometric elements with landscape compositions. \nTo 8 April. \nAbove: Abdulqader Al Rais\, Untitled\, from Serenity Series (2016). Below: Abdulqader Al Rais\, My Dubai (2014) \n \n

SUMMARY:POSTPONED March Meeting 2026
DESCRIPTION:Sharjah Art Foundation’s annual convening of artists\, curators\, scholars and arts practitioners from around the world to discuss issues in contemporary art focuses this time on effective responses to global challenges in social unrest\, environmental degradation\, systemic erasure and alienation. \nThrough panels\, keynotes\, conversations and performances\, participants will examine how historical entanglements of language\, geography\, economy and social organisation shape our present. How can kinship\, memory and humour sustain connection even as shared stories fracture or fade? What forms of transmission – oral\, visual\, sonic\, literary\, archival – can trace the movement of knowledge and experience between people and places? \nThe March Meeting is always interesting and often insightful; there aren’t many equivalent symposia anywhere in the world (especially when attendance is free).  The provisional programme is here.

SUMMARY:Jake's Women
DESCRIPTION:Jake is a New York novelist with a troubled marriage; he can’t stop talking to other women in his life\, some of whom are imaginary\, in an attempt to gain some insight on the problem – his daughter Molly\, his sister Karen\, his psychiatrist Edith\, his dead wife Julie … The result is a poignant comedy with a witty take on modern relationships. It’s by Neil Simon\, of course\, but you could probably have guessed that. Sumaya Kubeisy for the Junction’s house company H2 Productions. \nThere are two further performances on 28 and 29 March.

SUMMARY:Bashar Khalaf: The Field of Dreams
DESCRIPTION:Khalaf explores the relationship between self\, object\, and other through a focus on ‘steel’ in public spaces: The Field of Dreams\, or “dreams as minefields”\, remind us of the modern structures of unbridled capitalism and the transformative domination of life. This is delivered via two series of oil paintings\, The Junk Garden and The Protective Shield. The latter is particularly powerful\, using garbage bins as symbols of resistance during the First Intifada – juxtaposing their role as protective barriers against the colonial settler machinery with the oppressive use of steel barrels to enforce isolation.\nKhalaf asks questions about humanity’s choices in the face of hegemony and the nature of freedom in contemporary society. \nTo 1 June.

SUMMARY:Robert Powers: The City in Its Details – The Past and Future in Dubai’s Architecture
DESCRIPTION:A close look at Dubai’s urban fabric through the lens of architect and photographer Robert Powers. The exhibition traces the patterns and repetitions in architecture\, streetscapes\, industry\, and infrastructure that shapes the character of a city; taken between 2013 and 2025 in Deira and Bur Dubai\, the photographs document walkable parts of Dubai that have existed since the early days of the Union. Much of this older architecture may soon be demolished\, as its value is often unrecognised – yet these buildings hold beauty\, interest\, and cultural significance\, forming an essential part of the city’s history and collective memory. \nTo 10 May.

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 Saif Azzuz: Invisible Fish
DESCRIPTION:This first solo exhibition in the Middle East for the SF-based Libyan-Yurok artist takes its title from a poem by Joy Harjo\, which considers cycles of transformation across land\, water\, and time\, moving from submerged environments to human settlement and industrial presence. This show includes paintings\, works on paper\, sculpture\, and moving images\, tracing an ecological and cultural history of the UAE prior to large-scale urban development; Azzuz approaches land and water as lived\, relational systems rather than extractive resources\, foregrounding marine environments\, fishing practices\, and water as both sustenance and connective force across geographies. \nThrough material experimentation and research-driven enquiry\, Azzuz positions water not only as a subject but as a shared condition – one that links place\, history\, and the ongoing negotiation between human activity and the natural world. The Algae Bloom series of paintings are central to this\, with Azzuz working wet-on-wet so that paint bleeds\, drips and merges to produce organic forms that feel suspended and continuously evolving. So rather than literal depictions\, these works function as sensory impressions of aquatic ecosystems shaped by rhythm\, fragility\, and transformation …

SUMMARY:Global Positioning System
DESCRIPTION:A group exhibition dedicated to mapping and navigation systems\, “telling stories of fast cars and donkeys\, spinning globes and street barricades\, cosmic highways and broken bridges …” Curated by Indranjan Banerjee and Lucas Morin\, the exhibition presents a wide range of practices\, from research-based critical engagements with infrastructure projects to conceptual works that question the very perception of distance. It’s in two parts\, reflecting Art Jameel’s specific geographic footprint at two extremities of the Arabian Peninsula: at the Jameel in Dubai\, the show centres on navigation systems and mobility networks; at Hayy Jameel in Jeddah the exhibition (which runs 20 May – 17 October) focuses on cartography and mapping. \nTo 4 October. \nAbove: Fayçal Baghriche; Souvenir (2012)

SUMMARY:If Music Can Speak: The Moldau by Bedřich Smetana
DESCRIPTION:A lecture-performance with the Firdaus Orchestra that breaks down the music to reveal the hidden stories and craftsmanship behind the Bohemian composer’s symphonic poem\, a work which aims to evoke the flow of the Vltava River – in German\, the Moldau – through the Czech countryside to the city of Prague. The Moldau captures in music Smetana’s love of his homeland; live demonstrations will show how the music is built from its historical context to its rich orchestration before the orchestra gives a full performance of the piece.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Nazilya Nagimova: Follow the Snail
DESCRIPTION:The first solo exhibition in the Emirates for the Münster-based Tatar artist Nazilya Nagimova brings together new works created specifically for her solo project at NIKA Project Space\, plus selections from earlier projects. \nNagimova explores memory\, migration\, and the search for belonging\, and these works share a thematic core: the artist’s ongoing experiments with felt (a traditional material of her ancestors)\, her engagement with the long histories of Tatar mobility and settlement\, and the idea of home as a mobile\, vulnerable\, and constantly transforming structure. Says the gallery: “The exhibition unfolds as a reflection on the fragility of shelter and on how personal and collective memory shape our intimate relationship to place and community”.

SUMMARY:Elusive Territories
DESCRIPTION:Elusive Territories is group show for 15 prominent Palestinian artists whose work examines the relationship between exile\, memory\, and homeland – three dynamics that constantly engage with one another\, especially at this critical time. Says the gallery: “Throughout the exhibition\, elusive yet persistent glimpses of an absent homeland emerge from between the cracks of the abstraction. For these artists\, abstraction becomes a tool for piecing together fragments of Palestine\, in an ongoing process of identity formation journey …” \nParticipating artists: \nYazan Abu Salameh|\nNabil Anani\nTayseer Barakat\nKamal Boullata\nBenji Boyadgian\nSamia Halaby\nKhaled Hourani\nMohammed Joha\nBashir Makhoul\nSliman Mansour\nHosni Radwan\nRana Samara\nRuba Salameh\nSamir Salameh\nVera Tamari \nTo 30 June.
