Sharjah Biennial 16

Sharjah, United Arab Emirates
6 Febuary — 15 June 2025

Overview

This discussion will focus on new theoretical constructs that have emerged in the aftermath of the postcolonial, or older constructs that have been shaped by it. These are exemplified by concepts such as ‘intersectionality’, ‹feminism/womanism’ as well as ‘gendered identities’, which have been revised or reintroduced in light of the impact of postcolonial studies.
