Event Details
Tate St Ives will be the first museum in the UK to explore the intense period of artistic rebirth that followed Morocco’s independence, forged by the experimental teaching methods of the Casablanca Art School in the 1960s and 1970s.
Led by Farid Belkahia alongside Mohammed Chabâa, Mohamed Melehi and others, this pioneering school paved the way for a new generation of socially engaged modern artists who formed an influential avant-garde network.
Works by 22 artists will be brought together to demonstrate the wide variety of the Moroccan ‘new wave’, from vibrant abstract paintings and urban murals to applied arts, typography, graphics and interior design.
The exhibition will also include a selection of rarely-seen print archives, vintage journals, documentary photographs and films.
This exhibition is a collaboration between Tate St Ives and Sharjah Art Foundation, where it will open in February 2024. It is also part of a key moment of international research into the Casablanca Art School, which includes a collaborative project initiated in 2020 between KW Institute for Contemporary Art and Sharjah Art Foundation, in partnership with Goethe-Institut Marokko, ThinkArt and Zamân Books & Curating.
Exhibition artists:
Carla Accardi, Malika Agueznay, Hamid Alaoui, Mohamed Ataallah, Herbert Bayer, Farid Belkahia, Fouad Bellamine, Mohammed Chabâa, Saâd Ben Cheffaj, Ahmed Cherkaoui, André Elbaz, Abdellah El Hariri, Abdelkrim Ghattas, Mustapha Hafid, Anna Draus-Hafid, Mohamed Hamidi, Mohammed Kacimi, Miloud Labied, Mohamed Melehi, Houssein Miloudi, Abderrahman Rahoule, Chaïbia Tallal

This unique group exhibition reveals the various stages of the creative process of 31 artists in residence and offers a glimpse into the artists’ studio practice alongside their final artworks. The works displayed aim to convey a portion of this artistic journey while blurring the boundaries between the process and the outcome, and bridges the gap between the exhilarating, chaotic, and intimate personal experience in the studio and the finalised artwork showcased in contemporary art galleries.

Event Details
The Mosaic Rooms is pleased to announce In the shade of the sun, a group exhibition contemplating the relationship between politics and aesthetics by an exciting new generation of Palestinian artists. The exhibition comprises new multimedia installations by artists Mona Benyamin, Xaytun Ennasr and Dina Mimi as well as a new sonic performance commission by Makimakkuk.
Working across mediums that include film, installation, music and gaming, In the shade of the sun brings together artists that are forging a new language to think about and with Palestine. Their individual practices intertwined through making works for future times within the crisis of the present, in soft expressions and radical politics, from the absurd to the poetic.
This group of artists is brought together by artists Ruanne Abou-Rahme & Basel Abbas as part of their Bilna’es (in the negative) project, a platform that seeks to expand the bounds of collaboration through an adisciplinary approach. Bilna’es (in the negative) was born out of a need to support artistic communities in Palestine and beyond. It experiments in re-distributing resources and practicing alternative support structures.
Independent researcher and curator Adam HajYahia has been specially invited by Bilna’es to contribute a text to the exhibition and will be co-curating the exhibition’s accompanying public programme.
This exhibition forms part of The Mosaic Rooms 2023 programme, which seeks to interrogate questions of active solidarity; to consider how we can continue to collaborate, host, and create sustainable support networks that enable critical and creative artistic practices.

Event Details
The Sharjah Art Museum presents Lasting Impressions: Samia Halaby, a Palestinian artist born in Jerusalem in 1936, currently living in New York. This ia a major retrospective of her work and will include 180 works of various sizes and media representing her career through abstract paintings, sculptures, digital works, documentary drawings and more.
With a profound persuasion that future innovation in pictures lies in abstraction, she has remained dedicated to its boundless potential for over six decades. The abstraction she presents has its basis in reality by being an imitation of principles extracted from reality rather than one particular appearance of reality. Continuing her artistic endeavors until the present, she employs visual abstraction to convert what our senses have stored in our memory over a long period of time , “what the viewer and I already know”, into abstract visual form .Through such abstract creations she represent the inherent visual experience that resides within us all – abstract shape, color, light, and movement combine into an art in which the viewer recognizes their own experiences. She does so by employing the extensive knowledge regarding methods and technologies that she avidly studied ranging from methods of using paint to using digital media.
Through her visionary approach to abstract painting, she has gained an impressive reputation, solidifying her standing as a forward-thinking artist. Through her unique artistic style, extensive range of methods, and prolific artistry, she has redefined the notion of abstraction with a remarkable level of precision, ensuring the clarity in her creative process and cementing her position as a visionary abstract painter.
The artist’s interpretation of the exhibition’s title, “Lasting Impressions”, is that it reflects the wonderful reaction her work elicits in the youths of our time especially among Arab youth whom she admires. She takes note of their talents and high commitments to our future. These discerning viewers perceive her abstraction exactly as she envisions, recognizing in it a reflection of their own pre- existing experience. Her painting “mirrors our shared perception of the world we live in.” as she describes it.
As a Palestinian artist who was born in the city of Jerusalem on December 12m, 1936, she experiences the agony of exile and displacement from her homeland 1948. The painful memory of exile enters her painting not as subject matter but often as titles to place in Palestine she loves. She will not mix political history with her exploration of abstraction but she does state that being loyal to abstraction is itself a political art. Palestine as experience is clearly the driving force allowing her to exert great effort to create the documentary series of memorializing the Kafr Qasem Massacre.
Samia Halaby is an internationally recognized artist known for her exceptional talent. Alongside her artistic pursuits, she is a dedicated advocate for Palestinian rights. Remarkably, in spite of her extensive oeuvre and serious writing, things often provoke her sense of humor and playfulness.
The exhibition is part of the Lasting Impressions series, held annually at the Sharjah Art Museum. The aim is to focus on prominent Arab artists who had a prolific career and left a lasting impression on the development and evolution of modern art in the Arab world.

Al markhiya gallery proudly presents a thought-provoking group exhibition, Elsewhere, featuring a collection of contemporary Syrian artists exploring ideas of finding a sense of home abroad.
Inviting audiences to explore their extraordinary compositions, the artists traverse the globe, carrying with them the rich tapestry of their home culture, like a second skin. Through this lens, they perceive a world of new experiences, colors, textures and people in their adopted homelands.
Yet, despite their new surroundings, the artists maintain a persistent connection to their roots. This dual existence gives birth to a distinctive vision, where the threads of memory, experience, and family ties leave their creative minds slightly askew.
The artworks presented in Elsewhere embody this in-between experience, expressing their native culture with vibrant hues of their adopted homelands. As these artists seek to redefine their identities, they endeavour to harmonize their lives, returning themselves to the rhythms of existence lived in a place that is, for them, truly elsewhere.
The exhibition runs until December 2023.

Its aim is to spark new perspectives and reframe on-going conversations about the future of architecture and design within the social, economic, environmental, and cultural context of the region.
Titled The Beauty of Impermanence: An Architecture of Adaptability, the second edition of the Triennial is curated by Lagos-based, Nigerian architect Tosin Oshinowo, and will explore links between scarcity, creativity, and design. With the title and theme, Tosin wants to highlight how architecture should take into account indigenous traditions and collective knowledge born out of daily practice, resilience and ingenious coping mechanisms – ‘contextual’ is one of her favourite words. The Global South should not attempt to ‘catch up’ with the Global North, but rather the reverse, as the rest of the world now faces the same challenges due to the climate crisis. The Global South’s resilience suggests alternative approaches to an ethos of ‘permanence’ in architecture pervasive in the Global North, and these methods – shaped by the rhythms of everyday life, climate, and material availability – offer design solutions for the many challenges facing our populations. In her own practice, she draws on her Yoruba heritage and Àṣẹ philosophy to centre contextual design and culturally relevant architecture.
The Triennial’s 29 participants will shine a spotlight on design solutions that draw from indigenous knowledge (Nifemi Marcus-Bello, Hunnarshala Foundation with Aaabhat and AINA), explore the potential of local contextual material such as mud (Hive Earth Studio, Sandra Poulson, Wallmakers) examine the climate resilience and adaptability of communities around the world (Natura Futura, COLLAB: Henry Glogau & Aleksander Kongshaug), to name a few.

The Third Line is pleased to announce Duality, featuring new works by artists Nima Nabavi and Jason Seife. Duality is a showing of two artists working together in symbiosis, a product of an enduring “art friendship”. In ways both literal and metaphorical, the exhibition is a way of putting pen to paper on developments that were organically occurring when two artists who share a particular way of seeing collide.
Both Nabavi and Seife think in colour, shape, and line. Each pairing of canvases, from Tenet, to Civic, Radar and Level are mixed and matched, but not exact. The strictest aspect of each coupling of works is the precise dimensions of each canvas as being the same, be it classic rectangle or experimental long diamond. Whilst the foundational proportions were shared, both artists agreed upon the works being cousins and not siblings. There is enough of a similarity to begin to draw out a familial relationship from one work to another, but not enough that they become each other’s mirror image. The conceit is therefore more sophisticated: they are the same, but different.
Geometry was the pair’s common ground. Even the works themselves can be seen to be created in parallel: a call and response between Seife and Nabavi’s own particular approaches to how colour and form can be shaped. Even the title of each piece is an extension of these interrelated concepts of commonality and departure. Each work is named with an evocative palindrome shared between pairings. The structure of the letters themselves is even considered from a design approach, envisaged as an extension of the works themselves. Much like the companion pieces, the titular words are the same thing seen from a different perspective.

NIKA Project Space is proud to announce its fourth exhibition, I Can No Longer Produce the Limits of My Own Body, opening on 15 November 2023. Put together by independent curator and art critic Nadine Khalil, the group show will feature seven artists delving into practices that explore the body as an expanded site and medium; Liane Al Ghusain, Mirna Bamieh, Isaac Sullivan, Dalia Khalife, Sara Nirookbaksh, Lilia Ziamou and Christiane Peschek each question what defines the limits of our bodies and delve into the anatomical, animal, material and technological aspects of embodiment.
Palestinian-Kuwaiti textile artist and writer Liane Al Ghusain explores a number of forms including video, sculpture, and text to research the fields of mysticism, feminism, post-colonialism, and science fiction. Mirna Bamieh, renowned for her socially engaged work, is the founder of the Palestine Hosting Society, a live art project and platform for interaction she founded in 2018 to collect Palestinian recipes on the verge of disappearing. Through her work, Bamieh explores the politics of disappearance and memory production by unpacking the social concerns and limitations of Palestinian communities amid contemporary political dilemmas. Lebanese artist and scenographer Dalia Khalife, a recipient of the Home Workspace Program (HWP) Fellowship from Ashkal Alwan, The Lebanese Association for Plastic Arts in Beirut, is known for her installations, site-specific interventions, paintings and performative gestures which examine psychophysiological happenings as well as elements of spectacle and play within power structures, social events, and rituals. Abu Dhabi-based Iranian-Canadian artist Sara Niroobakhsh, whose performative and visual concepts engage the globalizing feminine psyche, references the notion of cultural objects through installations and performance layered with her own technology and science-based interventions. Greek-American New York-based artist Lilia Ziamou explores how technology can transcend the biological and ideological constraints that shape the body in digital paintings, sculptures and drawings. Christiane Peschek, an artist who lives and works in The Cloud, produces multi-sensory installation and retouched self-portraits observing the possibilities of online and offline intertwined lifestyles. Isaac Sullivan is a Dubai-based multimedia artist whose work explores emerging technologies and cybernetics and engages with ecological thought and AI’s impact on images, data, territory, and observation.

Mohannad Orabi’s fascinating collage art is set to launch at Urbanist Art Gallery with a show titled ‘Colored Shadows’ on 25 November.
Mohannad Orabi:
“Our dark reality and our heavy shadows and the shades of my plants that I love
I search in this darkness, I touch it, I try to understand it, I highlight it, I color it, I put my heroes in it, and I tell my story.
To be my sanctuary, my world with which I return to my colorful memory
With every painting I make, I record a trace of salvation.
Those are my colored shadows.”
The exhibition opening will be in the presence of the artist on Saturday 25th November and the show continues until 20 December 2023.

Event Details
To conclude the 30th anniversary of Galerie Janine Rubeiz, in spite of the difficult regional and local circumstances, we invite you to the opening of “30 Years of Color”, on Thursday, November 30, 2023, from 4 to 8pm.
In light of the horrific developments that have struck the people of Palestine and our people in the South of Lebanon, we cannot but persevere in our endeavors to defend our art and culture, and continue to represent the artists who have accompanied us and worked with us over the years. “30 Years of Color” is an ode to loyalty and community, to a three-decade journey with our artists, friends, and collectors, who have been with us since 1993, or who have joined us along the way. We are grateful for the longstanding relations we have forged, and we take this opportunity not only to look back and reflect, but to also look forward to supporting more emerging talents, as well as maintaining our growing collective.
During this past year, also as part of the 30-year festivities, we launched “Encounters 2023”, an open call followed by a group exhibition, strictly showcasing emerging talents, and facilitating a dialogue between them and the heritage which the older generation of artists has created and exhibited at Galerie Janine Rubeiz. We have been keen on documenting the socio-political changes and how they are reflected through the different practices of artists, since 1993.
Thirty years later, for this special occasion, Nadine Begdache, owner and director of Galerie Janine Rubeiz, with an unwavering vision to keep the gallery an open space for free expression, asked each of our artists to create one artwork inspired by this milestone: What do 30 years mean in one’s lifetime, in an artist’s lifetime, in History? What is their vision for the next 30 years? How does one evolve on a personal level over 30 years? How have the past 30 years been in our geo-political context? our very specific location in Ras Beirut…?
We invite you to experience the resulting exhibition, a mosaic of reflections around this anniversary, from our artists, each from their specific lens, with artworks by:

On the occasion of the COP28 Climate Conference, taking place in Dubai, UAE, Art of Change 21 and Alserkal Initiatives are excited to collaborate and present the climate-related exhibition “Melting Point” by the French-Swiss artist Julian Charrière. On view at Alserkal Avenue, the show brings to light rarely seen perspectives of our planet’s polar regions.
Though glaciers have never before had such a strong presence in our collective imagination or global media, Charrière presents them here anew, staging a kaleidoscopic vision of these environments at a critical point.
For this action at COP28, a tripartite collaboration unites Julian Charrière, a renowned and emblematic climate-engaged artist, Art of Change 21, a non-profit organisation on art & environment which has curated art shows and events in each Climate COP since 2015, and Alserkal Initiatives, a Dubai-based socially responsible cultural enterprise. The “Melting Point” exhibition is supported by R3, Maison Ruinart, Fondation LAccolade and Epson, and is part of Art of Change 21’s “Art at COP28” programming.

Event Details
Tate St Ives will be the first museum in the UK to explore the intense period of artistic rebirth that followed Morocco’s independence, forged by the experimental teaching methods of the Casablanca Art School in the 1960s and 1970s.
Led by Farid Belkahia alongside Mohammed Chabâa, Mohamed Melehi and others, this pioneering school paved the way for a new generation of socially engaged modern artists who formed an influential avant-garde network.
Works by 22 artists will be brought together to demonstrate the wide variety of the Moroccan ‘new wave’, from vibrant abstract paintings and urban murals to applied arts, typography, graphics and interior design.
The exhibition will also include a selection of rarely-seen print archives, vintage journals, documentary photographs and films.
This exhibition is a collaboration between Tate St Ives and Sharjah Art Foundation, where it will open in February 2024. It is also part of a key moment of international research into the Casablanca Art School, which includes a collaborative project initiated in 2020 between KW Institute for Contemporary Art and Sharjah Art Foundation, in partnership with Goethe-Institut Marokko, ThinkArt and Zamân Books & Curating.

Event Details
The Sharjah Art Museum presents Lasting Impressions: Samia Halaby, a Palestinian artist born in Jerusalem in 1936, currently living in New York. This ia a major retrospective of her work and will include 180 works of various sizes and media representing her career through abstract paintings, sculptures, digital works, documentary drawings and more.
With a profound persuasion that future innovation in pictures lies in abstraction, she has remained dedicated to its boundless potential for over six decades. The abstraction she presents has its basis in reality by being an imitation of principles extracted from reality rather than one particular appearance of reality. Continuing her artistic endeavors until the present, she employs visual abstraction to convert what our senses have stored in our memory over a long period of time , “what the viewer and I already know”, into abstract visual form .Through such abstract creations she represent the inherent visual experience that resides within us all – abstract shape, color, light, and movement combine into an art in which the viewer recognizes their own experiences. She does so by employing the extensive knowledge regarding methods and technologies that she avidly studied ranging from methods of using paint to using digital media.
Through her visionary approach to abstract painting, she has gained an impressive reputation, solidifying her standing as a forward-thinking artist. Through her unique artistic style, extensive range of methods, and prolific artistry, she has redefined the notion of abstraction with a remarkable level of precision, ensuring the clarity in her creative process and cementing her position as a visionary abstract painter.
The artist’s interpretation of the exhibition’s title, “Lasting Impressions”, is that it reflects the wonderful reaction her work elicits in the youths of our time especially among Arab youth whom she admires. She takes note of their talents and high commitments to our future. These discerning viewers perceive her abstraction exactly as she envisions, recognizing in it a reflection of their own pre- existing experience. Her painting “mirrors our shared perception of the world we live in.” as she describes it.
As a Palestinian artist who was born in the city of Jerusalem on December 12m, 1936, she experiences the agony of exile and displacement from her homeland 1948. The painful memory of exile enters her painting not as subject matter but often as titles to place in Palestine she loves. She will not mix political history with her exploration of abstraction but she does state that being loyal to abstraction is itself a political art. Palestine as experience is clearly the driving force allowing her to exert great effort to create the documentary series of memorializing the Kafr Qasem Massacre.
Samia Halaby is an internationally recognized artist known for her exceptional talent. Alongside her artistic pursuits, she is a dedicated advocate for Palestinian rights. Remarkably, in spite of her extensive oeuvre and serious writing, things often provoke her sense of humor and playfulness.
The exhibition is part of the Lasting Impressions series, held annually at the Sharjah Art Museum. The aim is to focus on prominent Arab artists who had a prolific career and left a lasting impression on the development and evolution of modern art in the Arab world.

The Third Line is pleased to announce Duality, featuring new works by artists Nima Nabavi and Jason Seife. Duality is a showing of two artists working together in symbiosis, a product of an enduring “art friendship”. In ways both literal and metaphorical, the exhibition is a way of putting pen to paper on developments that were organically occurring when two artists who share a particular way of seeing collide.
Both Nabavi and Seife think in colour, shape, and line. Each pairing of canvases, from Tenet, to Civic, Radar and Level are mixed and matched, but not exact. The strictest aspect of each coupling of works is the precise dimensions of each canvas as being the same, be it classic rectangle or experimental long diamond. Whilst the foundational proportions were shared, both artists agreed upon the works being cousins and not siblings. There is enough of a similarity to begin to draw out a familial relationship from one work to another, but not enough that they become each other’s mirror image. The conceit is therefore more sophisticated: they are the same, but different.
Geometry was the pair’s common ground. Even the works themselves can be seen to be created in parallel: a call and response between Seife and Nabavi’s own particular approaches to how colour and form can be shaped. Even the title of each piece is an extension of these interrelated concepts of commonality and departure. Each work is named with an evocative palindrome shared between pairings. The structure of the letters themselves is even considered from a design approach, envisaged as an extension of the works themselves.

NIKA Project Space is proud to announce its fourth exhibition, I Can No Longer Produce the Limits of My Own Body, opening on 15 November 2023.

On the occasion of the COP28 Climate Conference, taking place in Dubai, UAE, Art of Change 21 and Alserkal Initiatives are excited to collaborate and present the climate-related exhibition “Melting Point” by the French-Swiss artist Julian Charrière. On view at Alserkal Avenue, the show brings to light rarely seen perspectives of our planet’s polar regions.
Though glaciers have never before had such a strong presence in our collective imagination or global media, Charrière presents them here anew, staging a kaleidoscopic vision of these environments at a critical point.
For this action at COP28, a tripartite collaboration unites Julian Charrière, a renowned and emblematic climate-engaged artist, Art of Change 21, a non-profit organisation on art & environment which has curated art shows and events in each Climate COP since 2015, and Alserkal Initiatives, a Dubai-based socially responsible cultural enterprise. The “Melting Point” exhibition is supported by R3, Maison Ruinart, Fondation LAccolade and Epson, and is part of Art of Change 21’s “Art at COP28” programming.

Event Details
The Sharjah Architecture Triennial, taking place from 11 November 2023 to 10 March 2024.
The Triennial was established in 2019 as the first major platform for architecture and urbanism from West and South Asia and the African continent. Its aim is to spark new perspectives and reframe on-going conversations about the future of architecture and design within the social, economic, environmental, and cultural context of the region.
Titled The Beauty of Impermanence: An Architecture of Adaptability, the second edition of the Triennial is curated by Lagos-based, Nigerian architect Tosin Oshinowo, and will explore links between scarcity, creativity, and design. With the title and theme, Tosin wants to highlight how architecture should take into account indigenous traditions and collective knowledge born out of daily practice, resilience and ingenious coping mechanisms – ‘contextual’ is one of her favourite words. The Global South should not attempt to ‘catch up’ with the Global North, but rather the reverse, as the rest of the world now faces the same challenges due to the climate crisis. The Global South’s resilience suggests alternative approaches to an ethos of ‘permanence’ in architecture pervasive in the Global North, and these methods – shaped by the rhythms of everyday life, climate, and material availability – offer design solutions for the many challenges facing our populations. In her own practice, she draws on her Yoruba heritage and Àṣẹ philosophy to centre contextual design and culturally relevant architecture.
The Triennial’s 29 participants will shine a spotlight on design solutions that draw from indigenous knowledge (Nifemi Marcus-Bello, Hunnarshala Foundation with Aaabhat and AINA), explore the potential of local contextual material such as mud (Hive Earth Studio, Sandra Poulson, Wallmakers) examine the climate resilience and adaptability of communities around the world (Natura Futura, COLLAB: Henry Glogau & Aleksander Kongshaug), to name a few.
