Of Land and Water: Works from the Sharjah Art Foundation Collection

How do borders and ideologies attempt to contain open stretches of land and water, and segregate those who inhabit them? What ties us to a place, and what severs us from it? Which ways of living and knowledge can move freely across borders, unbound by race and political ideas like the winds and tides?

Of Land and Water brings together works by nine artists and collectives from around the world that grapple with some of these questions, offering different perspectives on our association with and relationship to land, water and homeland.

The exhibition is curated by Jiwon Lee, Head of Curatorial, and Abdulla Aljanahi and Amal Al Ali, Curatorial Assistants, with Souraya Kreidieh and Shahd Murshed from the Collection Department, Sharjah Art Foundation.

To 31 May.
