The Sharjah Biennial 16 launched on February 6, 2025, featuring over 650 pieces from more than 190 participants across 16 venues. Curated under the theme 'to carry,' the exhibition investigates the multifaceted nature of change—within technology, society, and culture. Curators Alia Swastika and Amal Khalaf emphasize the importance of connecting Sharjah's local narratives with global perspectives. The event aims to spark dialogue about the past, present, and future of the Emirate, underlining themes such as labor, mourning, and transformation through artistic expression.
the biennial is "at once an exhibition, exhibitions within an exhibition, an archive, a stage, a printing kiosk, a broadcast, a garment collection, an imprint, a farm, a song, a lament, an offering and a divination ritual."
