SUMMARY:Nothing Worth Mentioning
DESCRIPTION:An exhibition featuring more than 40 works by 16 photographers (of different nationalities\, but all based in the UAE) that seek to find beauty and meaning in the small moments of everyday life\, personal rituals\, routines\, brief encounters\, simple gestures and humble places we often overlook. As the gallery puts it\, “It reminds us that sometimes the things we dismiss as ordinary are the things that tell us who we are\, where we come from\, and what we remember”. \nThe exhibition is curated by Ola Allouz\, herself an award-winning photographer; her idea for the exhibition grew from taking groups of photographers on trips to the village of Kumzar. For Allouz\, the moments around the table stayed with her the most\, sharing food\, stories\, laughter\, and conversation. That led to the question at the heart of the exhibition: ‘Can a feeling be archived?”’ \nThere are works by Abdallah Alastad\, Abdulla Al Ghurair\, Abdulla Alblooshi\, Aisha Esmaeilzadeh\, Akhilesh Nair\, April Ann Vocal\, Fatima Al Amiri\, Fatima Albudoor\, Judite Serafim\, Latifa Almazrouei\, Maitha Alqassmi\, Maria Khodzhamberdieva\, Mohamed Al Alawi\, Preschelle Ann Bigueras\, Sara Al Shamsi and Ola Allouz herself. Additionally\, Emirati writer Ayesha Alyassi also joins the exhibition with her Therapy Mail Club\, an interactive installation that invites visitors to write\, send\, and share messages related to the heart of the exhibition’s theme. \nTo 27 September. \nAbove: Latifa Almazrouei\, Umaya’s wonders and wanders

SUMMARY:The Dirty Dozen Brass Band / Fanfaraï
DESCRIPTION:A terrific start to the new season at The Arts Center – a high-octane double bill featuring two bands\, both making their Gulf debuts\, who really know how to deliver. The Dirty Dozen Brass Band (above) is the pioneering group that brought funk to traditional New Orleans jazz : the New Orleans-based Grammy Award winners blend traditional jazz and bebop with funk and R&B/soul – lots of energy\, lots of musicality\, and how can a band that includes both a tuba and a bass sax not deliver a good time all round? And Fanfaraï (below) is a kind of French/North African equivalent\, a brass and percussion ensemble founded in 2005 and based in France with musicians from a variety of cultural backgrounds who merge Arab-Berber\, Afro-Cuban\, Latin\, and jazz sounds with reggae and funk – and as the name indicates\, there’s going to be a lot of brass and a real overlay of raï (their 2018 album Raï is not Dead says it like it is). This will be a great evening …
