Vantage Point Sharjah 12

Overview

The 12th iteration of Vantage Point Sharjah, the Foundation’s annual photography exhibition, opens on 28 September. Derived from a poem by Mahmoud Darwish, this year’s title, If I Were Another, addresses intimate individual experiences and the weight of collective memory, proposing empathy as the core lens through which we perceive others who may hold different identities, histories and sensibilities.


Five emerging photographers, selected through an international open call, will present their body of work with production support from the Foundation. Selected artists will also receive access to workshops and mentorships devised to foster their development as photographers.
