You’ll have learned things about your household you never knew (for better or worse). 2. You don’t need 95 percent of your wardrobe (elasticated waists for the win). 3. You’re far better acquainted with your kitchen equipment (a whisk? What a find!). But if you thought entertainment options might be wearing thin, you’d be wrong – as we guarantee you there will be loads of things on our at- home bucket list you haven’t tried yet. Whether you’re looking to learn Japanese, sing in a choir, or simply do nothing (it’s a pandemic, you’re allowed to) it’s out there. Because life at home isn’t just about the banana bread.* *Unless, like us, you accidentally order 4kg of bananas, in which case it’s about the muffins, crumbles, flambées and cakes, too. facebook.com/ timeoutdubai timeoutdubai timeoutdubai_food @timeoutdubaiyoutube.com/ timeoutgcc Hello, Dubai Amy Mathieson Editor Published by ITP MEDIA GROUP FZ-LLC © 2019 Time Out Group Ltd, London, UK.

Will it be forever changed? Will we return to old routines and habits or rebuild our lives in new, more inclusive, less harmful ways? Can we dream of a better world – and, if we can, can we bring all those dreams together? They’re the questions a stellar line-up of A-list artists, actors, athletes, humanitarians and speakers will be trying to inspire answers to during an ambitious 24-hour live charity event on Friday May 29. OHM Live, a co-production by Dubai- based ITP Live and Constellation, will feature exclusive performances, interviews and even real-time challenges from the likes of Jason Wanted: A billion dreamers Derulo, Dua Lipa, Becky G and Nicky Jam, as well as Arab stars Ragheb Alameh and DJ Bliss – all under the banner of “dream with us”. Streamed live from 11pm UAE time on May 29 on YouTube, Facebook and TikTok, OHM Live will also be trying to collect a billion dreams throughout the broadcast. And when viewers submit their dream to ohm. constellation.art, they’ll get a cool little piece of original, algorithm-powered graphic art that they share on Instagram. Which we’ve done about 50 times already. More immediately, though, the massive online event will be raising funds for a number of critical COVID-19 causes, including the United Nations’ SDG Impact Fund, the Global Gift Foundation, Medecins Sans Frontieres, the International Red Cross and the Red Crescent. It’s time to come up with and share your dream.
