SUMMARY:BRED Abu Dhabi
DESCRIPTION:The second edition of “the Middle East’s neo-culture festival” aims to celebrate the region’s art\, fashion and musical tastes (specifically grime and hip-hop) with local and international artists\, local and international food outlets\, gaming\, basketball showdowns\, streetwear stalls\, curated art\, and “interactive experiences”. \nThe concerts are on three of the days\, the rest of the festival runs for all five. You pay extra for the concerts; a day pass to the festival site without concerts is AED 75\, you’ll pay AED 125 for an all-areas-plus-concert ticket on 25 April (headliners J Hus and AJ Tracey) or AED 195 per day for 26 April (Metro Boomin and Offset) and 27 April (Ty Dolla $ign and Don Toliver). Plus there’s premium-price access-with-extras tickets too. The five-day access-mostly-everything pass at AED 495 seems more of a bargain. \n  \n

SUMMARY:CLOSING TODAY Elham Shafaei & Sara Al Haddad: Threads of Existence
DESCRIPTION:Two UAE-based artists reflect on “identity and the eternal quest for belonging within the ebb and flow of time”.

SUMMARY:Féminin Pluriel: Beyond the City – Chapter 2
DESCRIPTION:“A most exotic dreamlike journey” promises the blurb for this successor to the first Beyond the City show last November. Art collective Féminin Pluriel returns with work by Bénédicte Gimonnet; collective memebrs Alison Ladegaillerie\, Agnès Sheikh\, Alexandra Raynaud\, Bénédicte Joland-Chazelle\, Bianca Dolman\, and Valérie Schmitt- Laborer (Manou); and guests Karine Roche and Julie Migayron-Arfaoui. The overarching theme is urbanity\, “both a source of connections\, energy and multiculturalism\, but also the origin of a disconnection with our increasingly battered ecosystem”.  To 17 May.

SUMMARY:Khaled Akil: The Infinite & The Finite
DESCRIPTION:A solo show for the artist’s recent work – which aims to depict “the unseen\, the felt\, and the omnipresent”. Akil creates his compositions through dozens of thin layers\, creating depth while avoiding impasto; “the drying process [of oil paint] presents and provokes questions and answers in the artist’s mind\, creating multiple effects to choose from. Akil’s work brings time and space together through medium and concept\, putting all his tools together to tackle the immensity of the universe …” To 25 June. \nRight: Khaled Akil\, In Silence Time Stops (2024)
