Overview

SAF invites you to attend a tour of the exhibition followed by a panel discussion with artists Francis Cox, Ghada Da, Hind Mezaina and Clement Vincent as they talk about their approach to portraiture.

Vantage Point Sharjah 2 presents work by professional photographers as well as individuals with an active interest and passion for photography. This year’s exhibition focuses on the theme of portraits placing at the forefront the relationship of artist and subject. As photographers document their surroundings, do these images tell us more about the sitter or the person behind the lens?

Panel discussion is moderated by Mark Pilkington, Professor at American University of Sharjah (AUS).
