SUMMARY:Sharjah International Book Fair (SIBF)
DESCRIPTION:The 43nd edition of SIBF promises to be the fair’s biggest edition ever\, claiming to show more than 1.5 million titles by 2\,500 publishing houses from 112 different countries. There will also be a packed 12-day agenda of more than 1\,350 activities – among them 47 live cookery demonstrations and no fewer than 600 workshops in creative writing for all age groups conducted in Arabic and English. \nAnd there’s the return of the third edition of the Thriller Festival show-within-the-show (7-10 November) organised in partnership with Thriller Festival NY and featuring authors such as Ahmed Mourad\, Amir Atef\, Yehia Safwat\, Saad Abed Al Badr\, Mohammed Al Nasser\, John J Nance\, Isabella Maldonado\, KJ Howe and Tess Gerritsen. There will be panel sessions\, workshops (including a three-dayer led by Ahmed Mourad on writing thrillers) and of course book signings. This segment is building into a successful event in its own right and surely deserves its own identity away from SIBF … \nSIBF runs 6 to 17 November\, open daily 10am to 10pm (Fridays 4pm to 11pm). \n  \n

SUMMARY:Laal Collection Volume II
DESCRIPTION:The latest instalment of this exhibition features Fereydoun Ave’s extraordinary collection of modern and contemporary Iranian and international art\, from 1959 to the present – a potent (and highly recommended) reflection of the collector’s personal journey\, connections\, sensibilities\, and experiences. The Laal Collection (named after the artist/collector’s mother) is rooted in the idea of accessibility and public engagement\, offering a unique glimpse into works collected across three pivotal eras—before\, during\, and after the Islamic Revolution.

SUMMARY:Men’s Rings: the Yves Gastou Collection
DESCRIPTION:The late dealer / collector Yves Gastou (he passed away in 2020) was known for his educated eye\, eclectic tastes\, and an ability to discover lost gems and new talents in art\, design\, jewellery and exquisite taste generally. From an early age Gastou had been fascinated by 18th-century antiques but he also acquired specialities in Art Nouveau and Art Deco\, Venetian glass\, and most recently 20th century designer furniture – especially Ettore Sottsass and Italian design of the 70s generally. But he never confined himself to a particular period: as one commentator noted\, “he was too curious\, and saw beauty in objects that others dismissed”. \nBeyond his work as a gallerist and the position as a design-world tastemaker\, though\, Gastou’s most defining idiosyncrasy was an insatiable fascination with men’s rings. He amassed a highly eclectic collection of better than a thousand\, ranging from rings worn by ancient Egyptians to those sported by members of the Hells Angels. \nThis exhibition features more than 700 of the best examples from Gastou’s collection. These rings range across myriad functions\, from wedding oaths to mystical amulets via statements of membership and confirmation of identity to a simple (or complex) willingness to delight the eye. \nThe exhibition is organised into five themes to allow an immersive exploration of the collector’s personal taste: History\, Gothic\, Christian Mysticism\, Vanitas and Eclecticism. Each tells a story\, reflecting the collector’s unique personality but also echoing the original wearer’s own emotions\, ambitions and memories – there’s a powerful connection between the object and its owner in these pieces. \nThe exhibition had a very successful debut in Paris in 2018\, then travelled on to Tokyo and Hong Kong in 2022 and Shanghai in 2023.  New rings have been added to the selection for its fifth iteration in Dubai\, where it opens to coincide with the 10th edition of Dubai Design Week. It runs Tuesday to Saturday\, 10am to 7pm\, to 26 April. \nL’ÉCOLE Middle East is holding a Public Open Day on Saturday 9 November\, with course demonstrations\, kids workshops\, guided tours and other activities. \n  \nBishop’s ring\, c.1890: gold and citrine\nPortrait ring\, c.1880: silver and enamel paint\nMusical ring\, c.1890: gold and silver\n

SUMMARY:Into The Beat | Dein Herz Tanzt: dir Stefan Westerwelle (2020)
DESCRIPTION:A great coming-of-age movie – teen destined for ballet stardom discovers hip hop dance. She finds a new passion that challenges everything she knows. Torn between ballet and hip-hop\, Kaya must decide which path to follow: the one set by her family or her newfound love for dance. The feel-good vibe is matched with a strong but deftly handled ideological message: the hip hop culture is full of new age dynamism\, and it tears down the class barriers that still surround classical ballet. Screens in the MOVE ON FILM season.
