Al Manakh Spaces Talks: Inaugural Session (in collaboration with National Pavilion UAE)

The Sharjah Architecture Triennial (SAT), through its Al Manakh Spaces initiative, has launched the first in its series of events, Al Manakh Spaces Talks. This series of talks, conversations, and tours is linked to the Al Manakh bio-farm and its community-based programming. It aims to broaden dialogue on sustainable farming and community engagement in the UAE by positioning the bio-farm within the wider context of architecture, agriculture, and food systems. The inaugural talk, titled Pressure Cooker: Greenhouses and the Architecture of Farming, featured Azza Aboualam, Curator of the 2025 National Pavilion UAE at the Venice Architecture Biennale, Assistant Professor at Zayed University, and Co-Founder of Holesum Studio. Aboualam’s research and curatorial work explores the intersection of architecture and food production in the UAE, posing the following question: Using the UAE as a case study, how can architecture be mobilised for greater food security? Her research and curatorial process highlight how architecture can address critical global challenges, particularly in the intersection of sustainability and food systems.
