We’re calling it: Alserkal Avenue is the art hub of Dubai. The streets are bursting with an impressive range of galleries, workshops and concept stores, all ready to provide you with a culture fix. To keep the momentum going, Alserkal Art Week is returning to the emirate.
Taking place from 16 to 23 November, Alserkal Avenue, Dubai’s leading creative hub in Al Quoz, will once again transform into an epicentre of contemporary art, creativity, and dialogue for Alserkal Art Week. Expect a mix of exhibitions, public art installations, talks, and performances that will spark your imagination.
The seminal Majlis Talks this season is “Stories Behind Stories,” curated by artist and writer Uriel Orlow and curator Andrea Thal, offering a shared space for listening, remembering, mourning, and re-seeding through performance, text, and sound-based works from the wider region.
The highlight of Alserkal Art Week is guest projects in collaboration with Prameya Art Foundation, Serendipity Arts Foundation, and Tabari Artspace. Additionally, there is an exhibition curated by Uzma Rizvi, titled Visualising Care, inspired by the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Mohenjo-Daro (Pakistan).
Across Alserkal Avenue, there will be more than 15 new exhibitions across the galleries, and a series of workshops, screenings, and walkthroughs will be hosted throughout the week.
Beyond installations and exhibitions, Alserkal Art Week will also feature a lineup of artist talks, live workshops, film screenings and much more, offering plenty to dive into.
Best of all, most of the exhibitions are free. So, when you need a break from painting the town, spend those dirhams at the local favourites like bkry, LILA Molino, Middle Child, NALA, Piehaus and the FACT award-winning Nightjar Coffee Roasters.
