Overview

Presented in the Arts Area near the port, What should I do to live in your life? introduces work by seven artists, all strangers to Sharjah, into a space that was originally a family home. This question, to be posed reciprocally, then opens the doors to this home and invites us to reflect on mutual understanding as a creative activity produced when we engage with unfamiliarity and transformation, not only in exchanges with others but also with our own mechanisms of adaptation.

Curated by Claudia Pestana, What should I do to live in your life? introduce works by Lee Kit, Minouk Lim, João Vasco Paiva, Part-time Suite, Yuk King Tan
