How do the concepts of home, longing and belonging resonate through works by artists Etel Adnan, Lubaina Himid, Rashed Aereen and Saloua Rouda Choucair? In this episode, Hoor Al Qasimi speaks with curator Omar Kholeif about the themes that percolate through the exhibition ‘In the Heart of Another Country: The Diasporic Imagination Rises’, an extensive presentation of works from the Sharjah Art Foundation Collection, which took place from July to September 2023. The episode traces sentiments of memorial and homecoming via a constellation of artistic voices including those of Hayv Kahraman and Anuar Khalifi. Together, our guests explore what it means to think through concepts of mobility, hybridity and diaspora in the current moment–and, specifically, what it means to bring these ideas home to Sharjah.
