What are the ways in which identity gets stereotyped and commodified in visual media? Can art draw on diverse histories to express solidarities in the present?

To find out, listen this episode, recorded before Sharjah Biennial 15 opened, where Hassan Hajjaj is in conversation with SB15 curator Hoor Al Qasimi.

At Sharjah Biennial 15, Hajjaj showed a documentary film called Gnawa Capoeira Brothahood (2022). The film traces the historical similarities between a Moroccan performance art called Gnawa and a Brazilian martial art called Capoeira.
