SUMMARY:Fertile Dreams
DESCRIPTION:The group show brings together artists from the MENA region and its diaspora whose practices engage fertility as a generative force tied to questions of origin\, transformation\, and the cycles that govern land and self. Across drawing\, painting\, ceramics\, textiles\, and installation\, they turn to rhythmic repetition as a shared method of accessing unconscious and symbolic worlds; rooted in Surrealist philosophy yet resonant with the mystic patterns of Middle Eastern spiritual traditions\, their works open passages between body and land\, spirit and matter\, dream and physicality. \nTo 2 January.

SUMMARY:Rays\, Ripples\, Residue
DESCRIPTION:This major exhibition marks the ten-year anniversary of 421 Arts Campus via a chance to reflect on emergent artistic practices in the UAE\, their possibilities\, and challenges for the future. Featuring video\, performance\, installation\, and multimedia works\, it invites conversations around what it means to produce art in the UAE today from the vantage point of emerging artists\, collectives\, and grassroots initiatives\, to the influential role of cultural institutions that have supported and platformed these practices. \nIt’s realised through three curatorial perspectives\, all with time as a central theme: \nMunira Al Sayegh’s Leading to the Middle draws on the nature of expansion found within a ripple effect\, tracing the influence of key actors whose contributions have created lasting reverberations. Featured artists include Mohammed Ahmed Ibrahim\, Tarek Al-Ghoussein\, Bait15\, Adele Bea Cipste\, Khaled Esguerra\, Lamya Gargash\, and Auguste Nomeiakaite. \nIn Ghosts of Arrival\, Nadine Khalil meditates on the layered experience of arriving after a time of artistic ferment\, risk-taking\, and a now-mythologized energy that shaped cultural production in the UAE from the early 2000s to the mid-2010s. Rather than restaging or romanticizing the past\, Khalil proposes that the memory of risk itself becomes a material\, informing art-making and exhibition-building in the present. Featured artists include Tarek Al-Ghoussein\, Mona Ayyash and Nadine Ghandour\, Lucinda Childs\, Maria Daher\, Sarah Daher\, Cristalina Parra\, Bait Juma\, Hashel Lamki\, Sara Naim\, and Isaac Sullivan. \nMurtaza Vali’s SUN gathers artworks created and exhibited since 2015 that revolve around the idea and experience of the sun. Her section presents a nuanced view of the sun as a mediated and commodified presence – at once image\, data\, brand\, vibe\, and produc\, revealing the contradictions embedded in narratives of modernity and progress. Featured artists include Charbel-joseph H. Boutros\, Khalid Jauffer\, Raja’a Khalid\, Nima Nabavi\, Pratchaya Phinthong\, Sa Tahanan Co. (Jandri Angelo Aguilor\, Farah Fawzi Ali\, Preschelle Ann Bigueras\, Anna Bernice delos Reyes\, Alexandra Chaves\, Niño Consorte\, John Gatapia\, Balaram Ochangco\, Augustine Paredes\, Nicolas Roa)\, Shazia Salam\, and Lantian Xie. \nWhile all distinct in approach\, each section has a shared focus on the minor pivots rather than major inflection points. A look at overlooked gestures that accumulated over time\, Rays\, Ripples\, Residue illustrates the impact of subtle shifts that have shaped the past decade of art-making and exhibition building. It also sets the tone for the next decade of 421 and the UAE’s growing arts ecosystem\, asking what ideas will still carry forward into the next decade? \nTo 26 April.

SUMMARY:Sites in Conversation
DESCRIPTION:A two-day symposium of readings\, discussions\, and shared meals as part of that unfolds across Sharjah as part of Sharjah Architecture Triennial’s DAAS programme. DAAS is Decolonizing Architecture Advanced Studies\, a programme with no fixed curriculum but instead an environment where “knowledge emerges through encounters\, conversations\, and shared practices”. \nThe DAAS programme moves between different sites: from Sharjah to Sicily\, from Palestine to Stockholm\, “and in the everyday contexts participants bring with them … This mobility reflects the shared condition of displacement\, while also rooting work in situated struggles”. \nSo each session is intended to unfold as a dialogue shaped by lived experiences and research. The programme: \nDay One Saturday 1 November 10am to 6pm\nAl Qasimiyah School\, Sharjah City \nLed by May Al-Dabbagh\, Zoe Butt\, Charles Esche\, and Shahram Khosravi\, these sessions have no fixed topics; instead they invite improvisation\, allowing unexpected connections and solidarities to emerge. \nDay Two Sunday 2 November 2m to 7pm\nConcrete Tent\, Al Madam (transportation provided) \nThe final gathering reflects on conversation as the central methodology of DAAS: “in this shared space\, the art of conversation becomes both a method and a horizon for future encounters – and for the forthcoming iteration of ‘DAAS in Cairo’.
