8 awesome art events and exhibitions in Dubai to check out in April

What's On Dubai, 6 April 2021

What's On Dubai lists Alymamah Rashed's solo exhibition at Tabari in DIFC among the art events to see in the city in April 2021.

Aarti Saundalkar's round up gathers exhibitions and events across Dubai that spring, from an immersive Banksy experience at Mall of the Emirates to a solo show at La Galerie at Alliance Française.

The entry on Tabari describes the exhibition as the work of a Kuwaiti surrealist painter whose art is invested in the power of transition. Her figures appear from different timescapes and in multiple states, eventually orienting themselves to the gravity of the space they occupy. When painting, the guide explains, Rashed seeks to investigate the colour of Barzakh, the space between life and the afterlife, and in doing so expands the space in which her figures exist. The listing gives the gallery's address in Building 3, Gate Village, DIFC, with the show running until 30 April.

The exhibition was Rashed's first with Tabari, and she has since had further solo exhibitions with the gallery, including When my Heart Danced Near Your Mirage in 2022 and Mirrors From the Sidewalk in 2024. Alymamah Rashed is a Kuwaiti artist whose practice explores how the body inhabits its surroundings and itself across past, present and future. She is represented by Tabari.
