Dubai, January 16, 2020
At Jameel Arts Centre, the recently opened contemporary arts institution, we had a moderated discussion with Uns Kattan, Program Manager, about what it means to be a foundation that is open to the public in Dubai. We took a tour of a variety of art exhibitions including one by Sarah Abu Abdallah titled “For the first time in a long time.” We used the library space to engage in reflective discussions about art, public spaces, gender, and the state in both Sharjah and Dubai.
