Afra Al Dhaheri: Restless Circle Leda Catunda: I like to like what others are liking Image Keepers: Photographic Works from the Sharjah Art Foundation Collection Sharjah Art Foundation announces curators of Sharjah Biennial 17: Angela Harutyunyan and Paula Nascimento

Restless Circle brings together a selection of works by Afra Al Dhaheri that explore the structural effects of tension, repetition and time. Working with materials such as cotton rope, fabric, cement and hair, the artist emphasises slow gestures, intentional movements and the fatigue that can build from ongoing, repetitive and even invisible labour.

Drawing from a world of visual and material excess, Brazilian artist Leda Catunda offers a vivid reflection on the sensory saturation of modern-day life. A citation from the artist’s own words, the exhibition title reads as a contemporary confession that captures the complex entanglements of taste, desire and identity.

In its inaugural exhibition, the Photography Gallery presents a panorama of artistic experimentation and engagement through the medium of photography. Drawn from the Sharjah Art Foundation Collection, the works navigate the sociopolitical terrain of the last six decades against a backdrop of the compressed, and often fissured, processes of modernisation and decolonisation.
