The theme of this three-day programme, to carry new formations, builds on the title for Sharjah Biennial 16, to carry. Highlighting the Biennial as an ongoing generative process, to carry new formations is to re-think, re-value and re-shape knowledge for this moment and for the future of communal dignity—to materialise new ways of being with each other and the world.
The Sharjah Biennial 16 title, to carry, is a multivocal and open-ended proposition. The ever-expanding list of what to carry, and how to carry it, is an invitation to encounter the different formations and positions of the five curators as well as the constellation of resonances they have gathered.
