Dubai’s vibrant cultural scene is set to come alive once again with Alserkal Art Week 2025, an unmissable event celebrating creativity, dialogue, and thought-provoking narratives.

As one of the region’s most significant art events, Alserkal Art Week 2025 promises an immersive experience for art lovers, collectors, and creatives alike.
A Wild Stitch: Weaving Voices of Change
At the heart of this year’s art week is “A Wild Stitch”, a curated exhibition that challenges conventional narratives and explores the power of artistic dissent. The show brings together a diverse lineup of local and international artists who use fabric, embroidery, and textiles as mediums for storytelling, activism, and cultural commentary.

From large-scale textile installations to mixed-media works, A Wild Stitch redefines the role of fabric in contemporary art, proving that threads and stitches can be as powerful as words and paint.
