The use of sound throughout Japanese culture is deeply attuned to its fundamental character as something that is able to permeate the whole of the human body through vibration, and thus can be instrumental in creating a profound feeling of unity with the world around us. This attitude manifests itself through particular attention being paid to the texture of sound, which correspondingly leads to a heightened awareness of the practice of listening. Ultimately it is this insight about the importance of listening that “Japan Sound Portrait” project wishes to share.

With this “Vision and sound” event, participants will be able to visit a series of Japanese landscapes whilst immersed in ambient sounds. The landscapes include the Okunoin Cemetery on Mount Koya, a garden in Kyoto, the entrance to Takeshita Street in Tokyo and a Tokyo alley.

Taking place each year in March, Art Dubai has become a cornerstone of the region’s fast-growing contemporary arts community. Around 90 galleries from the UAE and around the world present artworks across three programmes: Contemporary; Modern, devoted to masters from the Middle East, Africa and South Asia; and Marker, a curated section of artspaces that focuses each year on a particular theme or geography. Art Dubai places an emphasis on maintaining its intimate, human scale while foregrounding quality and diversity.

Brought by Gadeemadis Art Gallery and held at the Emirates Palace, Abu Dhabi’s first Islamic Art Forum celebrates the unseen beauty of Islamic calligraphy and culture by featuring innovative artists from the Arab and Islamic world. Hassan Massoudy is one of them.

This Forum is a wonderful opportunity to explore the beauty of Arab culture and art.
