Maktaba: Performance Studies

📚✨ Some evenings aren’t about rushing somewhere… they’re about slowing down and thinking differently.

Join Maktaba: Performance Studies on 14 May 2026 at 421 Arts Campus — one of Abu Dhabi’s most thought-provoking monthly gatherings designed for curious minds, creative thinkers, and lovers of meaningful conversation. 🎭🎶📖

Rooted in the Arabic word for “library,” Maktaba: A Speculative Thought Circle creates a welcoming space where participants come together to explore ideas through collective reading, viewing, discussion, and reflection.

From books, films, and exhibitions to performance, sound, and artistic practices, each session invites open conversation and shared discovery in a relaxed roundtable setting.

Think less “formal lecture” and more “the kind of conversation that accidentally changes the way you see things.” ✨
