Sharjah Biennial 16

With ecological research at the centre of her intersecting artistic interests, Naiza Khan considers the ways in which geography materialises power and facilitates the collective remembrance of colonial histories.

Raheleh Filsoofi’s practice addresses the customs that mediate everyday experiences through research, education, community- centred work and performance.

Shiraz Bayjoo’s practice elucidates forgotten histories that contain multiple layers of meaning and visual culture. Mainly working with repurposed archival displays, his works subvert oppressive western historical narratives that have defined the psyches of colonised peoples.

At the intersection of conceptual, staged and documentary image- making, Hoda Afshar’s lens- based artistic practice explores the representation of gender, marginality and displacement.
