New Dates for March Meeting and Sharjah Biennial 15

Sharjah Art Foundation has announced new dates for the next March Meeting in 2021, originally scheduled from 21-23 March 2020 and postponed due to COVID-19. The next edition of the Sharjah Biennial, originally scheduled to open in March 2021, is planned to open in March 2022.

Titled Unravelling the Present, March Meeting 2021 (MM 2021) will examine the history of the Sharjah Biennial and past March Meetings, bringing together former Sharjah Biennial curators, participants and interlocutors as well as art historians and critics to discuss the role of the Biennial as a catalyst for critical dialogue and transnational exchange. MM 2021 will also explore the evolution of the Biennial in its effort to break away from traditional modes of curating and displaying art, while engaging with the public by activating non-institutional spaces and moving to non-geographic models of representation. Although MM 2021 will take place a year ahead of Sharjah Biennial 15: Thinking Historically in the Present (SB15), its theme is conceived as part of the overarching proposal by the late curator Okwui Enwezor for SB15, which will open the following spring.
