More Than Meetings,
It’s About Music.
Great weather, occasions, festive parties and exciting events taking place across the city make December our favourite month of the year. It marks the onset of the holiday season when friends, families and colleagues gather to create memorable moments.
This season, we invite residents and visitors to come to DIFC to enjoy an exciting line up of in-store sales, delish food offerings, festive events, offers and art exhibitions, giving visitors many reasons to visit and make the most of this holiday season.
The fast-paced lifestyle, which is synonymous with Dubai’s leading financial centre, usually makes one expect a flurry of financial activities and business elites dressed in suits and closing deals over power lunches. However, as dubbed by the New York Times, any epicurean exploration must begin at DIFC; because more than just a workplace, its a vibrant destination that promotes culture and community all year round!

Visit 'Land Survey' the solo exhibition of Franco-Tunisian visual artist Béchir Boussandel at Tabari Artspace from 7 to 27 Februrary. Bechir Boussandel's paintings raise questions relating to identity by destabilising notions of the space of time and the time of space. The artist is preoccupied with the boundaries that define public and private spaces and reflects upon the duality involving everyday objects and practices that relate to notions of territory, mobility, appropriation or habitat. The works on canvas presented at Tabari Artspace witness Boussandel construct fictional and utopian scenes across various scales. He invites the viewer to journey through an unfamiliar landscape - a survey of the land - with the notions of territories and travel through space and time central to the series. The artist's palette of fire oranges and reds speaks of twilight - a moment of the day when one is suspended waiting for the sky to touch the earth; yet his landscapes are composed intentionally without a horizon line. Desert plant life that can flourish in harsh climatic conditions - palms and cacti - as well as migrating birds and levitating fruit, freed from the fixture of the soil, are also recurring motifs within his compositions. Boussandel is preoccupied by the borders and boundaries which he perceives between public and private spaces. He foregrounds this duality through the representation of everyday objects, characters and creatures that operate in relation to territory, mobility, or habitat....Read MoreRead Less
