Running alongside Cinema Akil’s cinema pop-up will be the newly launched exhibitions at Warehouse421 of Language is Migrant and Out of Range which will both open on 27 February.

Language is Migrant explores how language relations form our selfhood and affinities that outweigh the boundedness of nationhood and citizenship with Out of Range showcasing the first solo exhibition of artist Ammar Al Attar.

In order to attend Cinema Akil’s cinema pop-up a negative PCR test result not exceeding 96 hours must be presented on the Al Hosn app in order to attend.
