Quoz Arts Fest

The eagerly awaited Quoz Arts Fest returns to the alleys of Alserkal Avenue to celebrate community, culture and art. Friends, families and even pets can delight in a slew of curated activities, exhibitions, live performances and more during this dynamic two-day culture carnival.

This year’s theme ‘In Search Of…’ promises to be the largest edition of the festival to date. Led by more than 60 thinkers, artists, musicians, designers and performers, the eighth edition invites all to explore the breadth of creativity the region has to offer.

Sample treats from food trucks while exploring all kinds of cultural fun and see Jordanian-Palestinian band 47Soul put on a free concert on 24 January. Attend the opening of New National Dish: UAE by the Center for Genomic Gastronomy, which imagines a new national dish inspired by the food and stories we celebrate.

London’s leading international performance art festival Block Universe is hosting productions by three talented artists all weekend, while contemporary dance troupe Sima Dance Company is showcasing Ansaf, choreographed by Palestinian Alaa Krimed. While you're there, catch a screening of touching documentaries and movies at Cinema Akil's Reel Palestine Film Fest and check out the Short+Sweet Theatre Fest at The Junction.
