At Cairo's Makan Cultural Centre, the Mazaher ensemble performs a lighter version of "zar", an music and dance ritual with centuries-old roots, that aims to ward off or exorcise jinn, or evil spirits.

Daniel Mullen, known for his play with geometrical optical illusion, spatial perspective and light, showcases his solo exhibition “Ephemeral Fields” at Kogan Amaro Gallery in Zurich. The Glasgow-born artist stems from the question “in what way might we imagine a future monument or the idea of a monument”. For the artist the monument of the future does not uphold existing structures. It is neither dominating, oppressive, predetermined nor physically definable. Instead it is light, space and movement expanding our perception in order to open our imagination to other futures.
