Miu Miu: Sunset To Sunrise
A celebration of community and storytelling
at the The Yard, Alserkal Avenue
24 February – 6 March 2026, Dubai, UAE

To coincide with the month of Ramadan, Miu Miu presents a special activation in Dubai, taking place from February 24th to March 6th at The Yard, Alserkal Avenue. Conceived as a gathering space for the local community, the program will unfold across several evenings, blending meaningful and memorable experiences, and moments of exchange in celebration of the season.

The Miu Miu Sunset to Sunrise experience invites the community to gather and connect through a thoughtfully layered programme of cinema screening, conversation, and hospitality.

The Holy Month of Ramadan follows the gentle rhythm of sunset and sunrise. As fasts are broken, communities gather in circles of care; as night deepens, stories emerge. Drawing on this cadence, the program approaches narrative as a collective act — reflecting on women not only as storytellers, but as carriers of memory. Cinema becomes a vessel for culture and emotion, amplifying voices that resonate quietly yet powerfully.

On the evenings from 25 to 28 February, Miu Miu Sunset to Sunrise will host a film screening line-up curated in collaboration with Cinema Akil, featuring a different film presentation each night, followed by intimate conversations reflecting women’s stories and their shared narratives, honoring women as carriers of memory across generations:
