Guggenheim Abu Dhabi is bringing a free three-day pop-up programme to Yas Mall from Friday 13 to Sunday 15 November 2026, centred on the Ghanaian artist El Anatsui and his work Earth’s Skin (2009).
What to expect
El Anatsui is known for monumental, shimmering hangings made from flattened bottle caps and other recycled metal. The pop-up introduces his work to shoppers and families with hands-on activities inspired by it.
On Saturday 14 November, visual artist Ameena Imran leads Weaving the Everyday, a workshop where participants link recycled aluminium bottle caps into their own metal compositions.
