Artdayme: "In the Heart of Another Country" is on view at Al Mureijah Art Spaces from 15 July to 24 September 2023!

The exhibition explores the concept of home—of longing and belonging. Drawn from the Sharjah Art Foundation Collection, the artworks span from 1935 to the present and have traversed routes from Colombo to London, from Cairo to Zanzibar through to the foothills of Mount Tamalpaïs in California, and back again.

What unites these myriad artworks, and their makers, is the Emirate of Sharjah, which has historically served as a site of encounter and exchange amongst artists and intellectuals, fostering an ongoing space for the diasporic imagination to come to life.

Organised by Sharjah Art Foundation and Deichtorhallen, Hamburg (@deichtorhallenhamburg), the exhibition is curated by Dr Omar Kholeif (@dromarkholeif), Director of Collections and Senior Curator, Sharjah Art Foundation.

Reimagined with recent acquisitions and other restored artworks, the Sharjah presentation builds on the debut exhibition at Deichtorhallen Hamburg (27 October 2022–11 March 2023).

Admission is free.
