SUMMARY:Vantage Point Sharjah (VPS 11)
DESCRIPTION:Sharjah Art Foundation’s annual photography exhibition returns for its 11th edition\, featuring artists “whose work challenges established notions of photographic practices” – four individuals and one collective\, chosen through an international open call that received more than 350 applications. \nThis year VPS identifies and supports early-career photographers from Africa and Asia (those who were born there\, who are currently based there\, or who are part of the diaspora). “The selected artists embody diverse approaches but share overlapping tendencies\,” say the organisers\, citing “the pursuit of contemporary image-making techniques\, the recontextualisation of found or inherited images and engagement with the visual afterlives of colonialist legacies”: \n\nOumaima Abaraghe (b.1999\, Casablanca) uses collage techniques and digital manipulation to reconstruct Morocco’s fragmentary colonial archive\, signalling its inherent fallibility\nYashna Kaul (b.1995\, Mumbai) unearths the secrets embedded in her family’s photo album and reveals how the framing of a moment can shape personal histories and collective memory.\nMohamed Mahdy (b.1996\, Giza) uses emotive storytelling to document the displacement of the fishing community of El Maks\, Alexandria\, and captures the generational impact of urban redevelopment policies.\nClea Rekhou (b.1988\, Paris) contrasts a series of soft-lit\, intimate family portraits with narratives of generational violence\, suggesting the complexity of human relationships.\nPostbox Ghana – Nana Ofosu Adjei (b.1993\, Accra)\, Courage Dzidula Kpodo (b.1999\, Kumasi) and Manuela Nebuloni (b.1986\, Milan) – resituate popular postcard images of post-independence Ghana within the country’s contemporary urban landscape and question the aspirations of nation-state imagery.\n\nWorks by these emerging artists will be displayed in two exhibition modes: independent presentations of the artists’ individual practices and a communal storytelling space that interweaves their combined practices. \nVPS 11 also introduces a one-on-one professional mentoring programme. Participating artists will be paired with cultural practitioners or industry professionals of their choice so that they can improve their skills and take advantage of a unique learning experience led by experts in the field. \nThe exhibition is open 9am to 9pm\, Saturday to Thursday\, and 4-9pm on Friday; it runs to 14 January. \nAbove: Oumaima Abaraghe\, History as they present it (2022)

SUMMARY:Mathilde Magnier: What We Leave Behind
DESCRIPTION:This series of images of the UAE\, started when Mathilde Magnier Rabate moved to the Emirates in 2014\, attempts to document the impact of the country’s rapid transformation on the Emirati traditional landscape and ecosystems. In a part of the world where nature long remained untouched\, the photographer’s aim is to question how such changes may transform the local environment as well as the relationship between people and their natural habitat. \nMathilde Magnier Rabate was featured at this year’s RAK Fine Arts Festival. We were also impressed with a thoughtful and sharply-realised essay on change shown at Alliance Française Dubai a year ago. This one should be as good. \nTo 13 November.
