In the lead up to the Journey to Japan, the group of young creative people who will travel to Japan in November, Art Jameel in partnership with the Crossway Foundation have curated a schedule of workshops led by Kuwaiti visual artist Monira Al Qadiri in Dubai, Kuwait City, Jeddah and Riyadh.
On September 3, Tulip Hazbar, Crossway Foundation alumna, will lead a three hour programme called Screenshots Screamshots: Zine-making Workshop at Tashkeel, Dubai. This will explore the relationship we have with the screen and independent written visuals that exist physical space. Hazbar will also explore visual interpretations of screenshots captured from a Japanese film and construct potential narratives between them. Participants will then use these new ideas to create pocket-sized zines.
* Admission is free but RSVP is required. Please email info@crossway-foundation.org to reserve your place. For more info about the rest of the schedule visit WWW.CROSSWAY-FOUNDATION.ORG
Tips to stay safe during hot weather
- Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of fluids, especially water. Avoid alcohol and caffeine, which can increase dehydration.
- Seek cool environments: Use air conditioning, fans, or visit community spaces with climate control.
- Limit outdoor activities: Avoid strenuous activity during peak heat. If outside, seek shade and wear a wide-brimmed hat.
- Dress appropriately: Wear lightweight, loose and light-coloured clothing to facilitate heat loss.
- Check on vulnerable people: Regularly check in on elderly neighbours, young children and those with health conditions.
- Home adaptations: Use blinds or curtains to block sunlight, avoid using ovens or stoves, and ventilate living spaces during cooler hours.
- Recognise heat illness: Learn the signs of heat exhaustion and heat stroke (dizziness, confusion, rapid pulse, nausea), and seek medical attention if symptoms occur.
