Sharjah Biennial 16: to carry
Richard Bell, Megan Cope and Sancintya Mohini Simpson are exhibiting work in the 16th Sharjah Biennial. The Sharjah Biennial 16 title, to carry, is a multi-vocal and open-ended proposition. The ever-expanding list of what to carry, and how to carry it, is an invitation to encounter the different formations and positions of the five curators as well as the constellation of resonances they have gathered. The exhibition will run until 15 June 2025. More information is available here. Image: Megan Cope, Kinyingarra Guwinyanba, Buhais Geological Park, Sharjah.
