Slow Art Walks — look deeper with artists and a curator

Take an hour to explore contemporary art with a guide who brings their own curatorial or artistic perspective. Choose a walk with Sasha Altaf, Shaima Shamsi, Tooba Shahbaz or Reem Farah during Alserkal Art Week’s closing weekend, with time for reflection rather than rushing between galleries.
