Beyond the exhibitions, GROW – curatorial theme of this edition – is embodied in a multidisciplinary public program of performances, screenings, and conversations. These include Reenactments of Lost Rhythms (Colomboscope, Sri Lanka) curated by Natasha Ginwala and Hajra Haider Karrar, Han Mengyun’s lunar-inspired performative installation Under the Aegis of the Moon for AFALULA (Saudi Arabia) and Pascal Hachem’s Threaded Whole, supported by ALSERKAL Advisory of Dubai.
