Alserkal Art Month: weekend 1

Alserkal Avenue’s Art Month (18 April to 19 May) includes a raft of individual events, mostly at the weekends, alongside the usual gallery opening hours – most of those we have listed separately in the Agenda. Here’s the schedule for the first Saturday:

2-8pm The Yard WORKSHOP Wear Your Words
Live screen printing throughout the afternoon and evening – bring a T-shirt or tote bag to be printed with a text by Shilpa Gupta, directly referencing her light-text sculpture Still A Sky We Hold, also located in The Yard and launching for the opening of Alserkal Art Month

4pm Common Room CONVERSATION Subtle Sites of Power
Kevin Jones talks with Green Art Gallery artists Alla Abdunabi and Fatma Al Ali, illuminating both their engagement with material and their taste for dismantling the logic of empire

6pm The Yard PERFORMANCE ADIGA Music Band
Dubai-based Sudanese three-piece group that brings traditional Sudanese rhythms into the modern era
