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’.

SUMMARY:CLOSING TODAY Abdelkader Benchamma: Rumors from the Skies
DESCRIPTION:For his third solo exhibition here\, the French-Algerian artist has taken inspiration from Kometenbuch (The Comet Book)\, a 16th-century Flemish treatise depicting comets and fantastical apparitions; Benchamma suggests how astronomy and astrology\, science and folklore\, continue to overlap in shaping our perception of the cosmos via a new body of intricate ink drawings and landscapes . Meteorites\, crying stones\, and shooting stars drift across forests and horizons\, hovering between recognition and mystery; there’s also a monumental mural paired with a projected animation that extends this vision into immersive territory\, opening onto swirling\, otherworldly sequences of light\, texture\, and form.

SUMMARY:CLOSING TODAY Mahmoud El Safadi: Personal Sea
DESCRIPTION:Exhibiting for the first time in Dubai\, Lebanese artist Mahmoud El Safadi is showing a collection of miniature paintings on playing cards\, a series of works that reflect on the Mediterranean as a site of memory\, inheritance\, and continuity – “a littoral space that is at once connective and exclusionary\, communal and privatised\, fluid and heavily policed”. Referencing the card game ‘quatorze’\, Safadi layers imagery across the cards to create “a visual palimpsest where personal and inherited memory converge with broader histories of struggle\, surveillance\, and belonging”.

SUMMARY:CLOSING TODAY Sophie-Yen Bretez: The Unsaid Remains Remembered
DESCRIPTION:A solo exhibition by Paris-based artist Sophie-Yen Bretez for a new body of work that captures moments when one space becomes another\, when times overlap\, and when memory persists as life shifts forward. This “dramaturgy of passage” is expressed through bold\, large-scale compositions and shaped canvases. As she notes: “Silence is never empty – it holds presence\, remnants endure\, and memory lingers in objects\, rituals\, and landscapes”.
