In 2015 Basel Abbas and Ruanne Abou-Rahme were awarded the 2015 Sharjah Biennial Prize for ‘When the fall of the dictionary leaves all words lying in the streets (2015)’. This year the duo are back for the Sharjah Biennial 15 where they are preparing a live performance in Al Mureijah Square, an installment of their multipart project 'May amnesia never kiss us on the mouth’.

To mark the 15th edition and 30th anniversary of the Sharjah Biennial, we have interviewed its curator Hoor Al Qasimi. The Emirati royal has elevated and transformed the third-largest UAE Emirate into an International Art Capital. Sharjah Biennial 15: Thinking Historically in the Present conceived by the late Okwui Enwezor, reflects upon his visionary work, which transformed contemporary art and has influenced the evolution of institutions and biennials around the world, including the Sharjah Biennial.

"Vetrina" is a cycle of contemporary art exhibitions hosted by Vino Vero Venezia in collaboration with Lightbox and curated by Mara Sartore. The curator interviewed the fifth guest artist Lilla Tabasso to talk about her artistic practice, which combines art, biology and nature through faithful reproductions of slowly decaying flowers.
