SAF announces Autumn 2025 progs, launch of 2 initiatives
The season includes the 2025 editions of Perform Sharjah, Sharjah Film Platform and Focal Point—the Foundation's annual film festival, performance programme, art book fair in addition to music events. Internationally, recent and new work by artist Mounira Al Solh is on view in her mid-career solo exhibition at The Bonnefanten, Maastricht, co-organised by Sharjah Art Foundation, from 7 June 2025 to 11 January 2026. The exhibition will be on view in Sharjah in 2027. Singing Wells' Sharjah Biennial 16 project Sonic Inheritances, commissioned by Sharjah Art Foundation and Bergen Assembly, will be on view at the 5th Bergen Assembly, Norway (11 September–9 November 2025). Stephanie Comilang's Search for Life II, commissioned by TBA21, Sharjah Art Foundation and The Vega Foundation, is on view in CARA, New York, until 10 August 2025. Additionally, premiering at the Festival d'Avignon in July is Laaroussa Quartet by Selma and Sofiane Ouissi supported by Sharjah Art Foundation and the presentation of Magec / The Desert by Radouan Mriziga co-produced by the Foundation. These performances will be presented at Perform Sharjah's upcoming season in Autumn 2025. Exhibition programme Afra Al Dhaheri The autumn season begins with the first institutional solo show of Afra Al Dhaheri. The exhibition invites the audience to reflect on the textures and rhythms of temporality by focusing on the artist's mixed media works which experiment with repetition, layering and accumulation. Leda Catunda Marking the first major solo exhibition of artist Leda Catunda in the region, this presentation brings together a vibrant selection of her haptic works from the 1980s to the present. Catunda's practice crafts together readymade graphics, fabrics and everyday items. Co-organised with Halle für Kunst Steiermark, Graz, the exhibition will travel to Austria in June 2026. Rachid Koraïchi Spanning five decades of his practice, this major survey traces artist Rachid Koraïchi's ongoing exploration into signs and symbols from a diverse range of languages and cultural traditions, through multifaceted installations inspired by the legacy of Islamic mysticism. Works from the Sharjah Art Foundation Collection For the first time since its restoration, Kalba Ice Factory, the Foundation's east coast venue, hosts a large-scale presentation of works from the Sharjah Art Foundation Collection. New openings Photography gallery and Al Majarrah Park November marks the launch of two landmark initiatives. In Al Manakh, the Foundation opens a new photography gallery housed in a repurposed former telecommunications building. The inaugural presentation features a wide-ranging selection of photographs from the Foundation's collection. Simultaneously, Al Majarrah Park, adjacent to Rain Room Sharjah, will open to the public following its transformation by the artist collective Superflex in close collaboration with Schul landscape architects, and local residents. Annual events Perform Sharjah Sharjah Art Foundation's performing arts season returns this October with the fourth edition of Perform Sharjah, expanding its presence across the cities of Sharjah and Khorfakkan. With a diverse lineup reflecting and celebrating Sharjah's rich cultural fabric, the season will create shared experiences to connect people through art in familiar and unexpected spaces. Sharjah Film Platform 8 The eighth edition of Sharjah Film Platform, the Foundation's annual festival of independent cinema and experimental filmmaking, includes the UAE premieres of a selection of films nominated by an international committee, all of which will compete for the Sharjah Film Platform Awards. Focal Point Sharjah Art Foundation's annual art book fair showcases independent bookmaking from around the world. A critical space for knowledge-sharing and community building, the fair features a compelling selection of printed material by cultural producers who expand and experiment with the medium of publishing. It also includes workshops for print and design enthusiasts. Music programme Sharjah Art Foundation is organising listening sessions and gatherings for the local community as well as concerts, workshops and talks. Sharjah will welcome a diverse group of musicians, who will perform and share their experiences of both traditional and experimental musical forms. A conference on maritime music from the Western Indian Ocean is also planned for the end of the year. Two book projects will be launched during Focal Point. More details will be available closer to the dates of the events.

FocalPoint announces strategic collaboration with STMicroelectronics to deliver an enhanced GNSS solution for automotive
CAMBRIDGE, England, May 20, 2025 /CNW/ -- FocalPoint, a UK-based software company providing next-gen positioning solutions for automotive, wearables and smartphones, has announced a strategic collaboration with STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM), a global semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronics applications. The joint offering provides automotive OEMs a combined solution that enhances navigation performance by improving GNSS reliability and accuracy — key to making autonomous vehicles safer. Within this collaboration, FocalPoint will integrate its S-GNSS ® Auto software, powered by Supercorrelation ™ technology, onto ST's Teseo devices, known for their high performance and multi-constellation support. Combined with S-GNSS ® Auto, they will offer next-level industry-leading reliability and accuracy, surpassing other commercially available options. GNSS is an important component in Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), providing absolute location data. However, its accuracy is compromised in urban canyons and forested roads due to signal interference. S-GNSS ® Auto transforms GNSS into a reliable, high-performance sensor in these challenging scenarios. This allows automakers to harness the full potential of GNSS and confidently extend the operational range of hands-free driving beyond open-sky roads. Delivered as a simple firmware update to the Teseo device, S-GNSS ® Auto is cost-effective and easy to adopt. This engagement is a significant milestone in the growth and demand for FocalPoint technology that follows a recent strategic investment from GM Ventures and collaboration with General Motors (NYSE: GM). Scott Pomerantz, CEO at FocalPoint, said, "The combination of FocalPoint's S-GNSS ® Auto and ST's Teseo chips offers a powerful approach for automotive OEMs looking to advance ADAS systems. The Teseo receivers are specifically optimised to take full advantage of S-GNSS ® Auto, maximizing GNSS performance, improving system reliability, and enhancing accuracy where traditional GNSS systems fall short." Luca Celant, Digital Audio and Signal Solutions Division General Manager at STMicroelectronics, said, "By integrating FocalPoint's S-GNSS ® Auto software onto our Teseo receivers, we enable OEMs to confidently advance automation, while setting a new standard for navigation accuracy and reliability." Key findings from the collaboration show that the combined solution of ST's Teseo devices and FocalPoint's S-GNSS ® Auto enhances measurement accuracy by up to 4 times and position accuracy by up to 3 times (in challenging multipath environments). More details are available upon request. Contact FocalPoint at [email protected] for the full results report. About FocalPoint FocalPoint is a UK-based technology company specializing in next-generation GNSS positioning solutions for automotive, wearables and smartphones. Their patented Supercorrelation ™ technology boosts the accuracy, reliability and security of radio receivers. FocalPoint's S-GNSS ® Auto software is designed specifically for the automotive sector, delivering the GNSS reliability needed to advance vehicle autonomy. Leading chipset manufacturers and OEMs partner with FocalPoint to improve device capabilities, benefitting billions of users who rely on accurate location technology. Headquartered in Cambridge, with offices in Bristol and in the United States, FocalPoint has earned numerous accolades, including the 2024 Cars of the Future Self-Driving Industry Award in the V2X category, and recognition from the UK Royal Institute of Navigation and the US Institute of Navigation.
