Ready to connect with your creative side?

One of our favourite parts of living in Dubai is being able to connect with an international community of creatives. Alserkal Avenue never fails to get us excited about the UAE arts scene, and this month is no different.

Sunrise outings, isolation tanks, creative workshops, film screenings, and a deep listening experience are available at Alserkal this month sound good? Then youve got to check out Some Time Away.

This programme of events and activities explores isolation, creativity, mirage, madness, and engagement with nature. Some workshops are first come first serve by signing up on the Alserkal website, and some are randomly selected when you send an email to rsvp@alserkal.online, so be sure to read through each activity youre interested in to find out how to participate.

Were planning to camp out on the avenue so we dont miss any of the action.

Saturday August 14 Saturday August 14 is themed illusion with activities that are designed to explore the limits of your mind. Mingle with artists at the Amok conversation chamber, experience the deep listening room, catch two surreal films: Solaris and Zaougaty wel Kalb, and participate in a discussion about the power of rituals. Looking to take the illusion to another level? Drain is a meditative workshop where you produce artwork in isolation and silence for four hours. Were ready.

Saturday August 21Act III is called revival, and includes a pre-sunrise excursion to the sea. Youll get to swim, meditate, photograph water and learn to observe the world. Other activities include solitary walks, deep listening, a conversation about writing colour, and two film screenings.

Thats your August sorted.
