Memory Sews Together Events That Hadn’t Previously Met
5 March, 2021 - Ongoing
Sharjah Art Museum
This exhibition reflects the manifold ways in which artists in the Arab world have responded to socio-political events and the human condition across the twentieth century. The title of the exhibition is inspired by verses from Etel Adnan’s Night, 2016, where she writes:
Memory sews together events that hadn’t previously met.
It reshuffles the past and makes us aware that it is doing so.
