  • Resumen

  • What can the evolution of languages tell us about a place and time in history? In this week’s Culture Bites podcast, hosts Enas Refaei, Farah Andrews and Maan Jalal draw inspiration from the multi-volume Arabic-Latin dictionary project led by Sharjah Ruler Sheikh Dr Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, and discuss common root words across languages.

    They draw links between Arabic and Latin languages, like Spanish, and reflect on the role of etymology in enriching cross-cultural exchange.

    As we approach autumn, the UAE's art scene is gaining momentum. Maan highlights five key exhibitions to visit before the end of the year, including the first solo exhibition by Syrian artist Randa Maddah at Tabari Artspace and an Andy Warhol collection at The Foundry in Dubai.

    Oasis reunion hype has been felt worldwide, with millions of fans vying for tickets over the weekend. Many hope the British rock band will add an international leg to their 2025 tour, currently limited to the UK and Ireland. Fortunately, both Enas and Farah secured tickets for dates in London and Edinburgh. The hosts discuss the revival of the popular 90s band after a 14-year hiatus, and talk about fans’ frustrations with lengthy online ticket queues.
