ArtDayME: Sharjah Biennial 16 is open to public until June 15, 2025 at 16 venues across the Emirate of Sharjah. This sprawling showcase of international contemporary art features over 650 works by more than 190 participants, including over 200 new commissions.

Curated under the title ‘to carry’ by a team of five curators⁠—Alia Swastika, Amal Khalaf, Megan Tamati-Quennell, Natasha Ginwala and Zeynep Öz—it reflects on what it means to carry change and its technological, societal, animistic or ritualistic possibilities.

The biennial’s focus this year lies in understanding our collective and individual uncertainty in spaces that are not our own while at the same time trying to stay responsive to such sites. The theme also looks at intergenerational stories and modes of inheritance.
