  • Arabic

Sheikha Alyazia bint Nahyan al Nahyan, the Emirati artist who has had her work displayed in Emirati Expressions and been nominated for the International Emerging Artist Award, has a new book out featuring her art.

The young sheikha, daughter of Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan the minister of culture, youth and social development, is probably most well known for her work Carrom Station, a sculptural and painting series focusing on the traditional Emirati game of the same name, which she fuses with new technology.

Her monograph, produced and distributed by Dubai’s Motivate Publishing house, is a retrospective look at her art since she began with biographical information about the young artist.

It was launched at Abu Dhabi Art last week and is already on shelves of most major book stores across the UAE.

Sheikha Alyazia had her debut solo exhibition, Dialogue, in 2011 at Artspace, Dubai.

Checks continue

A High Court judge issued an interim order on Friday suspending a decision by Agriculture Minister Edwin Poots to direct a stop to Brexit agri-food checks at Northern Ireland ports.

Mr Justice Colton said he was making the temporary direction until a judicial review of the minister's unilateral action this week to order a halt to port checks that are required under the Northern Ireland Protocol.

Civil servants have yet to implement the instruction, pending legal clarity on their obligations, and checks are continuing.
