Vantage Point Sharjah 11 opens in October.
Vantage Point Sharjah returns for its 11th edition from October 18. The annual photography exhibition founded by Sharjah Art Foundation will be staged in Old Al Diwan Al Amiri in Al Hamriyah. This edition offers an expanded vision: five emerging artists based in Africa and Asia who use photography as a central medium in their practice will be selected for a group exhibition. Last year, VPS10 presented works by 66 artists from 34 countries. This image, Untitled (2020) by Rima Maroun is from the series While Standing My Ground. The series of aerial portraits, with Maroun “safe” on the ground, was an attempt to find meaning amid the twin crises that battered Lebanon in 2020: Covid-19 and the Beirut port blast.
VPS 11 from October 18 to March 10.
