Continuity in motion

In a moment when much of the calendar is in flux, new openings stand out — not just as programming, but as decisions to move forward.

On March 14, a new curatorial space, Fynd and Talaar, opened in Dubai’s Alserkal Avenue, bringing together handcrafted objects by Iranian artisans alongside works by Arab and Iranian creatives. Co-founded by Iranians based in Dubai, including Fynd’s Ali Mohammadioun and Hana Jalalian and Talaar’s Ava Ayoubi, the space brings together two platforms: one focused on accessibility and affordable design for new collectors, the other on curatorial reflection and the evolving meaning of objects.
