Overview
Sharjah Art Foundation welcomes audiences to two major exhibitions: Art in the Age of Anxiety, which features works exploring the ways everyday devices, technologies and digital networks have altered our collective consciousness by over 30 international contemporary artists and art collectives, and Homebound: A Journey in Photography, which traces the career and work of acclaimed artist and photographer Aïda Muluneh. Rain Room Sharjah, our permanent installation by Random International, is also open to the public.

Homebound: A Journey in Photography
Sharjah Art Museum, Arts Square
On view until 31 October
A collaboration between The Africa Institute, Sharjah Art Foundation and the Sharjah Museums Authority, this two-part exhibition features several series of Muluneh’s photographic works and a selection of other works by contemporary African photographers.
Curated by Salah M. Hassan, Director of The Africa Institute, with Sataan Al-Hassan as associate curator, the first part of the exhibition chronicles Muluneh’s journey as an artist and photojournalist as well as her multiple contributions to image-making.
The second part of the exhibition, curated by Muluneh and titled ‘Addis Foto Fest: Nine Years Survey’, selectively recounts the evolution of the Addis Foto Fest (AFF), which she founded in 2010. AFF is a biennial event held in Addis Ababa and the first and only international photography festival in East Africa.
Sharjah Art Museum is open from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm, Saturday to Thursday, and from 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm on Friday. This exhibition is free to attend.
