Library Circles returns on May 26 with a major research project and display by Maysoon Al Dwair, exploring philosophies of education in the Arab and Muslim worlds and mapping UAE education networks, from the first school founded in 1907 to the 1920s and through to the unification of the United Arab Emirates in 1971.
Opening at the Victoria and Albert Museum, 'Jameel Prize: Poetry to Politics' showcases works by eight finalists shortlisted from over 400 applications: Golnar Adili (Iran), Hadeyeh Badri (UAE), Kallol Datta (India), Farah Fayyad (Lebanon), Ajlan Gharem (Saudi Arabia), Sofia Karim (UK), Jana Traboulsi (Lebanon), and Bushra Waqas Khan (Pakistan).
The latest bibliography from Jameel Library focusses on Palestine, aiming to facilitate deeper engagement and familiarity through a broad range of books and resources from artists' books to academia.
A compelling episodic story of a young woman trapped in a vast library, appealing for all ages, 17-year Cicada is an ode to reading, designed to create new pathways to books and expand on the idea of a bibliography.
A group of upcoming composers have spent time at Jameel Arts Centre through 2020; last month, working with local musicians, they recorded in the galleries, beside the particular works of art that inspired their new pieces of original music.
