Focal Point, now in its fifth edition, will be held at Bait Obaid Al Shamsi, a historic home in Sharjah’s historic quarter, for three days from November 25 to 27.
In addition to a lineup of 100 local and international authors, bibliophiles can look forward to a weekend jam-packed with entertaining events like book launches, talks, artist gatherings, workshops, and musical performances. Publications from artists’ presses, bookmakers, self-publishers, non-profit cultural producers, and artist-made goods will be available for visitors.
The book fair will be divided into three main categories: Local, which will feature publications from the UAE’s arts community; and Edit, which will feature curated publications and unique interest books not sold by local retailers. International will feature works from independent publishers and artists in the global art community.
