And What Did
You Say? (5PM)

“And What Did You Say?” (2026) is Taus Makhacheva’s performance exploring gossip as movement, speech and shared knowledge. The National Pavilion UAE – La Biennale di Venezia presents it in collaboration with Alserkal Avenue. It was originally presented in Venice as part of “Washwasha,” curated by Bana Kattan with Assistant Curator Tala Nassar at the Biennale Arte 2026. A talk is also part of the programme; registration for the performance and talk is available through the organiser. The 5PM session is one of two performances at The Yard on 21 November.
