Ramadan is a time of reflection, connection, and change. This year, Alserkal Avenue brings a fresh perspective on the holy month with Interrupting Patterns, an arts and culture programme designed to explore how this month reshapes our routines, thoughts, and traditions.

Happening over two weekends — March 8-9 and March 15-16 — this event invites visitors to experience Ramadan through a creative lens. The programme dives into the idea of breaking daily patterns, encouraging people to pause and reflect on the stories they know, the habits they follow, and the new perspectives they can gain.

Expect a mix of art forms, from film screenings and poetry readings to theatre and live performances. Each piece is designed to spark conversations about time, tradition, and transformation. The event isn’t just for adults — there will be dedicated sessions for children, making it an enriching experience for families as well.

Whether you’re a lover of the arts, curious about new ways to engage with Ramadan, or simply looking for a meaningful experience, Interrupting Patterns offers a space to slow down, connect, and see the month in a new light.
