Show Notes

Ramadan Kareem. Pause, reflect, and reconnect. As part of [Alserkal’s annual thematic on Maintenance, Ramadan at Alserkal Avenue](http://www.alserkalavenue.ae/en/alserkal-programmes-2018/project/annual-thematic.php) encourages us to shift our focus towards discourses around maintenance, urging us to reconsider our present moment. Throughout the month, our Ramadan programme invites you to Iftar and Suhoor experiences, art and self-care workshops, thought-provoking discussions, exhibition openings and guided tours, film screenings and more, reflecting the communal spirit of Ramadan. In this episode of Conversations on the Avenue, we catch up with Butheina Kazim from [Cinema Akil](http://www.alserkalavenue.ae/en/neighborhood/cinema-akil.php), Kenza and Patrick Jarjour from [Inked](http://www.alserkalavenue.ae/en/neighborhood/inked.php), and Lola Boatwright from [Gulf Photo Plus](http://www.alserkalavenue.ae/en/neighborhood/gulf-photo-plus.php) to hear about their Ramadan line-up. Our Alserkal Lates continue every Wednesday, and the galleries will open new shows during the 15 May edition of Alserkal Lates, when galleries will be open from 8-11PM. You’re also welcome to discover our many family-friendly activities throughout Ramadan at Alserkal Avenue, including the children’s camps at Wisdom Warehouse, Board Game Nights at A4 Space, fashion pop-ups, night markets, and Majlis Storytelling in The Yard. The full calendar of events is available [here](https://alserkalavenue.ae/en/event/ramadan-at-alserkal-avenue-2019.php), and we have an ever-growing calendar of activities, events, and exhibitions running throughout the month, so keep checking in for updates.
