WAREHOUSE 68, ALSERKAL AVENUE
AL QUOZ INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT
DUBAI, UAE
We’re back at Warehouse421 this Ramadan with two special screenings in conversation with Al Rabi’a, an experimental, process-led space by visual artist, Shaikha Al Ketbi.
Featuring walls lined with static and moving paintings depicting scenes from the artist’s dreams juxtaposed with fabricated recollections, Al Ketbi will continue to populate the space over a period of two months with additional paintings, furniture pieces and sculptures. Through this work, she explores themes of impostorism while excavating hidden truths within her own narrative in the context of mental health.
We will screen two Japanese films which will further delve into the exploration of dreams and impostorism, starting with the magical classic Spirited Away followed by The Kingdom of Dreams and Madness, a documentary that will take us behind the scenes of the beloved Studio Ghibli.
Join us on this special film + suhoor special.
Free entry, first-come first-seated. See you at the Warehouse.
