POSTPONED March Meeting 2026

Sharjah Art Foundation’s annual convening of artists, curators, scholars and arts practitioners from around the world to discuss issues in contemporary art focuses this time on effective responses to global challenges in social unrest, environmental degradation, systemic erasure and alienation.

Through panels, keynotes, conversations and performances, participants will examine how historical entanglements of language, geography, economy and social organisation shape our present. How can kinship, memory and humour sustain connection even as shared stories fracture or fade? What forms of transmission – oral, visual, sonic, literary, archival – can trace the movement of knowledge and experience between people and places?

The March Meeting is always interesting and often insightful; there aren’t many equivalent symposia anywhere in the world (especially when attendance is free).  The provisional programme is here.
