Sharjah Biennial 9, Provisions for the Future
Under the Patronage of H.H. Dr. Sheikh Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, ruler of Sharjah and under the auspices of Biennial Director, HH Sheika Hoor al Qasimi, overseen by renowned Curators Isabel Carlos and Tarek Abou El Fetouh and led by Artistic Director Jack Persekian, the 9th edition of the Sharjah Biennial will transcend central themes and pre-cast frameworks, exhibiting instead a wide range of works selected by open invitation.
More than 80 artists and performers are participating in the biennial, which since its inauguration in 1993 served to connect artists, institutions and organisations and to foster artistic dialogue and exchange. Sharjah Biennial ranks amongst the most established and prominent cultural events in the Middle East.
