Quoz Arts Fest is an annual arts and culture event that brings the curious together in the heart of Al Quoz.

Created for those who seek the unexpected, the offbeat, and the culturally rich, QAF transforms Alserkal Avenue into a vibrant celebration of creative expression.

From emerging artists to experimental formats, it amplifies stories from the region and its diaspora through art, performance, music, food, and more.

With every experience curated to invite exploration, spark connection, and reward curiosity. Open, layered, and always a little ahead, QAF is where discovery lives.

Experience the 14th edition of Quoz Arts Fest on Saturday, 24 & Sunday, 25 January 2026 across Alserkal Avenue and the wider Al Quoz Creative Zone.

TAPE Dubai by Numen/For Use

Presented inside Concrete for the first time in Dubai, the internationally acclaimed collective Numen/For Use unveils a cocoon-like, site-specific structure built through communal making and inspired by patterns found in nature. Visitors are invited to move within the installation, dissolving boundaries between sculpture, architecture, and performance.

The TAPE project has travelled to over ten cities worldwide — including Paris, Tokyo, Milan, and Moscow — and now reimagines its form within the industrial space of Al Quoz.

Additional exhibitions, public artworks, and warehouse takeovers across the Avenue extend this spirit of experimentation, offering audiences new ways to engage with contemporary art in public space.

This year’s programme brings together some of the region’s most inventive and boundary-pushing artists, offering audiences a spectrum of sounds shaped by cultural memory, contemporary storytelling, and sonic experimentation.

Headline performances feature:

Yasmine Hamdan — the Lebanese singer-songwriter known for her evocative, genre-defying sound
DAM — the pioneering Palestinian hip-hop collective performing a powerful, high-energy set
TootArd — bringing Levantine grooves, desert blues, and playful rhythms
Gayathri Krishnan — weaving soulful South Asian influences into atmospheric arrangements
From the Lips to the Moon — a collaborative spoken-word and music journey created for QAF by Pouya Ehsaei and Tara Fatehi, inviting listeners into an immersive soundscape shaped by voice, gesture, and improvisation
Floe by Jean-Baptiste André — a choreographed performance staged within a site-specific visual installation by Vincent Lamouroux

Across the weekend, Stage 2.0 offers a platform for emerging UAE-based and regional musicians to experiment, collaborate, and debut new work.

Families can explore a dedicated, sensory-led environment designed for young visitors inside Jossa Warehouse 45.
Soft structures, tactile materials, and playful activity zones encourage children to engage through touch, movement, and imaginative storytelling.
Created as an inviting space to pause, reconnect, and discover, the Kids Warehouse Takeover ensures that visitors of all ages can experience the festival together.
