Can objects from the past make us see the present in a new light? How does art reframe things that carry histories of oppression? To find out, listen to this episode, recorded before Sharjah Biennial 15 opened, where artist Nari Ward is in conversation with SB15 curator Hoor Al Qasimi.

In Sharjah, Ward installed a work called Duty Colossus (2023). A large-scale project evoking the makeshift vernacular structures of Jamaican fishing villages, the work was placed alongside a dhow.
