Crude Eye, 2022
Installation view: Sharjah Biennial 15, Bank Street Building, Sharjah, 2023
Sharjah Biennial (SB15) artist Monira Al Qadiri and critic, curator and art historian Murtaza Vali discuss speculative artistic representations of our collective human and earthly trajectory. How do artistic practices and exhibitions address environmental destruction, war and resource extraction? How is the oil industry entangled with the (neo)colonial realities of the past, present and future? This session tackles these questions and more in our present age of petro-modernity and its spectres of a post-oil era.
