SUMMARY:CLOSING TODAY Afra Al Dhaheri: Restless Circle
DESCRIPTION:A selection of works by Afra Al Dhaheri that explore the structural effects of tension\, repetition and time provides Sharjah Art Foundation’s first show of Autumn. “Working with materials such as cotton rope\, fabric\, cement and hair\, the artist emphasises slow gestures\, intentional movements and the fatigue that can build from ongoing\, repetitive and even invisible labour …” \nThe exhibition’s title comes from a newly commissioned installation with the same name; that draws inspiration from desert plants that create spiral patterns in the sand as they move with the wind. For Afra Al Dhaheri\, this offers a metaphor for mental exhaustion and collective burnout\, the sense of being endlessly pushed to produce or perform: “in other works\, repetition emerges as a condition of making\, a method shaped by the interplay of tension\, weight and the ongoing rhythm of doing and undoing”.

SUMMARY:Dhai Dubai
DESCRIPTION:Dhai Dubai\, Dubai Culture’s light art exhibition\, has a very specific remit: just seven works but seven artists\, all Emirati. The theme for this second edition of the show is ‘Light Influences Life’. \nThe artists represent an interesting selection\, and the co-curators Amna Abulhoul and Anthony Bastic deserve credit for their choice. None are associated primarily with light art\, though Ahmad AlAreef would probably regard himself as a multidisciplinary artist who works with photography\, painting\, and sculpture; and both Hessa Alghandi and AlZaina Lootah work in 3D with practices that includes architecture and design. Fatma Lootah\, Mohammed Kazem and Khalid Al Banna are three well-known and well-established names with 2D and 3D work in their CVs; and the wildcard may be jewellery designer Alia Bin Omair. \nThere’s a programme of workshops for kids aaged 3-10\, and one bookable workshop for adults – Mobile Mastery After Dark\, a smartphone photography class that promises to help you master the art of low-light photography. It runs daily 12-18 November\, 5-9pm\, at House of Arts\, Floor 5; it’s free\, but pre-register here for your preferred date. \nDhai Dubai is at Al Wasl Plaza in Expo City\, 6pm to 11pm. \n \n  \n

SUMMARY:Sharjah Film Platform 8
DESCRIPTION:Sharjah Art Foundation’s annual celebration of indie/experimental cinema returns for its eighth edition from 14 to 23 November 2025 with an expanded lineup of films\, talks and artist development programmes. Screenings and events will take place at Mirage City Cinema\, SAF’s open-air theatre in Arts Square\, plus VOX Cinemas in City Centre Al Zahia. \nOpening the 10-day festival is Baab (2025)\, a new fantasy film by Nayla Al Khaja that blurs the boundaries between the living and the dead. The programme also includes Carissa (2024 – still above)\, a coming-of-age drama from South Africa; Put Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk (2025) which documents the exchange between the late citizen journalist Fatema Hassona in Gaza and the filmmaker Sepideh Farsi; and five shorts produced through the SFP Short Film Production Grant – Saint Andrews (2025) by Erin Nene-Lee Ramirez; Yathoom (2025) by Hana Kazim; L’mina (2025) by Randa Maroufi; Goat (2024) by Judy Kibinge; and Morgenkreis [Morning Circle] (2025) by Basma Alsharif. \nAt the heart of SFP is the Competition section\, which features 27 documentary and fiction films nominated by an committee of filmmakers and industry experts and selected from films released in the past two years. All these are being screened in the UAE for the first time; a number of screenings will be followed by Q&A sessions with the directors. \nThe Director in Focus segment honours regional directors for their lifetime achievements in global cinema. This year the accolade goes to Jocelyne Saab (1948–2019)\, whose politically engaged documentaries and experimental features continue to inspire generations of filmmakers. The festival will be showing four of Saab’s films: Dunia\, Kiss Me Not on the Eyes (2005); Once Upon a Time in Beirut (1995); South Lebanon: The Story of a Village under Siege (1976); and Les Femmes palestiniennes (Palestinian Women) (1974). A special discussion panel features filmmaker\, producer and researcher Mohanad Yaqubi with Mathilde Rouxel\, President of the Jocelyne Saab Association. \nNew this year is First Takes\, organised by Sharjah Art Foundation in collaboration with AUS\, MYUAD\, the University of Sharjah\, and Zayed University. It spotlights short experimental works by UAE-based students and recent graduates. In addition to the film screenings\, there will also be a public roundtable addressing the challenges and opportunities for emerging filmmakers in the UAE. \nThe full programme is here; most feature tickets are a bargain AED 15\, some screenings are free.

SUMMARY:Salma Dib: Marks of Return
DESCRIPTION:Drawing from the charged visual language of street walls in Palestine in this\, her first solo exhibition in the UAE\, Salma Dib transforms those surfaces of resistance into layered compositions that speak of loss\, resilience\, and collective memory. Her works – painting\, installation\, and textile – become vessels of remembrance\, where every mark holds the weight of history and the quiet persistence of a people. The exhibition invites viewers to move through fragments of memory and presence\, reflecting on how the act of return continues to shape identity\, community\, and the hope for what endures … \nTo 7 January.

SUMMARY:Gil Heitor Cortesão: All That Is Solid
DESCRIPTION:Gil Heitor Cortesão’s fifth solo show at CARBON 12 (it is also the gallery’s 100th exhibition) presents a suite of large and small works extending his investigation into the fragile perceptive systems and architectures of modernity. Working with oils on plexiglass\, Cortesão constructs images that hover between coherence and dissolution\, framing painting as a system at once striving for and resisting cohesion; at the heart of this new body of work lies the artist’s ongoing series of photographs of modernist interiors and glass structures\, reconfigured and filtered by colour\, space\, and mood. \nTo 8 January. \nRight: Gil Heitor Cortesão\, Glasshouse (2025)

SUMMARY:Ali Kaaf: The Fire’s Edge 
DESCRIPTION:Ali Kaaf’s first solo exhibition at Ayyam Gallery features his seminal body of work\, the Rift series\, alongside selected works from his Helmet and Ras Ras series. \nThe Fire’s Edge evokes the fragile threshold where ancestral practices meet modern erasure – marking not only the line between scorched earth and fertile soil\, but also the vanishing space where knowledge\, ritual\, and ecology once intertwined. The title of the exhibition thus suggests a meditation on disappearance and persistence\, on how destruction\, drought\, and extraction cast a shadow over the possibility of renewal. \nTo 10 January.

SUMMARY:Mohammed Joha: Houselessness
DESCRIPTION:In his latest work\, Palestinian artist Mohammed Joha redefines collage as “an architecture of rupture and reassembly\, both a method and a metaphor”. His works bring together scraps of fabric\, paper\, cardboard\, plastic and other salvaged materials\, textures pulled from shattered environments and fragments of personal history\, to form compressed\, jostling topographies; they convey not only violence and destruction\, but also endurance and resistance: a continuation of life within erasure. \nTo 11 January.

Says the gallery: “the title of the exhibition suggests a meditation on disappearance and persistence\, on how destruction\, drought\, and extraction cast a shadow over the possibility of renewal …” \nWith Kaaf’s photographic works in the Ras Ras series\, the medium is manipulated by fire. The Helmet series explores the intersection of past and present via blown-glass helmets thatv evoke the fragility of memory. Much like Kaaf’s use of paper in the Rift series — a material that is both resilient and inherently delicate — glass becomes a poetic vessel for themes of endurance and vulnerability. \nTo 10 January. \nRight: Ali Kaaf\, Helmet (2024)

SUMMARY:Kamrooz Aram: Domestic Compositions
DESCRIPTION:A solo exhibition by Kamrooz Aram. The artist’s practice integrates sculpture\, painting\, and architecture\, creating a context for viewing cultural artefacts in a way that brings them back into the present. \nAt the centre of five collages\, for instance\, is a repeated photo reproduction. The image is the kind of colour plate typical of Western art history books from the mid-to late 20th century\, part of a decidedly Western taxonomy of museological and cultural representation – its own kind of artefact. \nIn making this series\, Aram excised the photo of the bowl from several copies of a publication he deliberately does not name. But in his collage works\, the artist uses images from his collection of books documenting Iranian art\, with the rule that they must have been published before 1978\, the year that Edward Said’s Orientalism was published\, engendering the field of Postcolonial studies and offering a clear before-and-after. \nTo 10 January. \nRight: Kamrooz Aram\, Untitled (Paravent) (2024)

SUMMARY:By the Movement of All Things
DESCRIPTION:A group exhibition curated by Hamzeh Alfarahneh of South African curatorial firm Art(Advisory) and featuring works by Hamra Abbas (Pakistan)\, Diana Al-Hadid (Syria-USA)\, Timo Nasseri (Iran-Germany)\, and four South Africans – Igshaan Adams\, Moshekwa Langa\, James Webb\, and Bronwyn Katz. \nThe exhibition continues Alfarahneh’s ongoing investigation into Global Majority abstract practices\, focusing on the affinities and resonances between South African and Middle Eastern non-figurative approaches. The title\, borrowed from Aimé Césaire’s Notebook of a Return to My Native Land\, sets the tone of active participation\, inviting the viewer to engage with the works not merely by projecting meaning but also by reflecting their own lived experiences. \nThe exhibition is organised through a framework that Alfarahneh terms ‘structures of knowledge’ – “a mode of thinking that interrogates what kinds of knowledge exist outside the dominant canon\, and what role curators and institutions play in safeguarding\, proposing\, and presenting non-institutional know-how\, thematics\, and ancestral wisdoms\,” as the gallery puts it. “Rather than offering neat oppositions\, this framework asks how exhibition-making can surface practices of knowing that operate through gesture\, lineage\, and embodied memory.” Should be interesting. \nTo 8 January. \nRight: Igshaan Adams\, Dark comfort (i) (2024)

SUMMARY:Fereydoun Ave\, Raana Farnoud\, Shaqayeq Arabi: IMPROVISATIONS
DESCRIPTION:The artists in this group show have distinct visual languages that do find commonalities: they “transform the familiar through acts of care\, attention\, and intuitive play … a shared attentiveness to what is provisional\, such as a line that wavers\, a form that repeats with variation\, or a gesture made in passing but left to settle”\, as the gallery has it. \nIn Farnoud’s paintings\, forms hover between presence and disappearance. Ave’s works honour simplicity\, allowing small elements to settle into poetry. Arabi assembles delicate sculptures\, where fragility becomes a kind of resilience. \n“In a time that often demands spectacle\, these works ask us to slow down\, pay attention\, and find presence in the modest\, fragile\, and unresolved …” \nTo 31 December. \nRight: Fereydoun Ave\, Trompette de la Mort (2024)

DESCRIPTION:Tabari Artspace’s first exhibition at its new Alserkal Avenue location is a solo show for Miramar Al Nayyar\, curated by Abeer Seikaly. In Hujra\, Al Nayyar “traces how flow crystallises onto canvas\, how light becomes matter\, and how painting absorbs the sound of vision\, grounding the process in the rock’s enduring presence as both origin and silent witness …. The exhibition unfolds as a dialogue between artist and curator\, where inner states of consciousness take form through body\, material\, and space”. To 1 December

SUMMARY:Devadeep Gupta: We Must Therefore Turn Our Attention Skywards
DESCRIPTION:A short pop-up exhibition for Devadeep Gupta\, presented by Prameya Art Foundation with the support of Alserkal Avenue and India Art Fair. The artist’s practice investigates the overlapping histories of colonial extraction\, ecological destruction\, and indigenous resilience in Margherita\, Assam – once a thriving rainforest ecosystem\, now devastated by over 150 years of coal mining. This project gathers anecdotal\, speculative and documentary traces of Margherita’s transformation from a lush rainforest to an environmental\, and public-health crisis; Gupta highlights the inter-generational resilience of the inhabitants of the land as a form of reparative resistance within sites of ecological collapse\, reframing survival as both an aesthetic and an ethical act. \nTo 23 November.

SUMMARY:Lala Rukh II: The importance of staying quiet
DESCRIPTION:The first part of this series\, Lala Rukh I\, presented a selection of photographs from the artist’s archives during her years at the University of Chicago (1974-76). Its speculative framework helped us to stage the evolution of Lala’s photographic sensibility\, as she refined her sense of composition\, framing\, and perception. This second exhibition of The importance of staying quiet completes the two-part observational inquiry into Lala Rukh’s photographic practice\, showing how it moved toward abstraction. The exhibition builds parallels across different bodies of work\, tracing how Lala both used and broke down photographic technique\, the visual\, and the conceptual into photo-documentation\, unique photo works\, video\, and drawing. \nTo 17 January. \nRight: Lala Rukh\, Gadani\, 2001\, 07.00 – 19.00 (video still\, 2001)
