AKTHR, a new space at Hayy Jameel that serves as an expansion of ATHR Gallery’s exhibitions and public programmes, it is a response to the growing need for a space for experimental contemporary art practices. AKTHR’s focus will be on commissioning, curating and exhibiting experimental works with an emphasis on employing new technologies and providing multi-sensorial experiences for audiences of all ages.
Via a year-round programme of films, as well as talks, exhibitions and film festivals held across its various community spaces, the cinema becomes a convivial site of convening, opening up a whole new world of storytelling and imagination. Hayy Cinema’s opening programme, developed in collaboration with Red Sea International Film Festival, includes ‘As Seen’, a Gamal Fahmy archival exhibition.
