Book synopsis

Tales from the Diaspora»In the Heart of Another Country« explores the concept of home of longing and belonging by artists who hail from multiple diasporas. The exhibition ­and the book explores the ways that physical ­movement how mobility across geographies, has shaped and contoured the frame of global art today. The artists, herein, have traversed ­migratory routes from South and West Asia, through Africa, and the Caribbean. Many now live in dispersed sites, far from where they first believed that they belonged. Drawing on art from the international collection of Sharjah Art Foundation, UAE, »In the Heart of Another ­Country« showcases the work of more than 60 artists through over 150 artworks in all media, many of which have rarely, if ever, been seen outside of their original context. Recently restored installations are present­ed ­alongside contemporary acquisitions, which narrate a communal story of kinship amongst artists one often developed against a backdrop of political turmoil and social unrest. »In the Heart of Another Country« embodies the Sharjah Art Foundation ­Collection s goal to present art that posits East-East and South-South alliances, forging a meeting point ­ a connective tissue that nurtures a polyphonous and inclusive art history.Exhibition:Deichtorhallen Hamburg, 28/10/2022 14/3/2023Artists:Sarah Abu Abdallah, Bani Abidi, Etel Adnan, Halil Altindere, Latif Al Ani, Minam Apang, Rasheed Araeen, Thuraya Al Baqsami, Shiraz Bayjoo, Semiha Berksoy, Huma Bhabha, Huguette Caland, CAMP, Tony Chakar, Saloua Raouda Choucair, Tiffany Chung, Ibrahim El-Salahi, Monir Shahroudy Farmanfarmaian, Simone Fattal, Marcos Grigorian, Abbas Habiballa, Rokni Haerizadeh, Lawrence Abu Hamdan, Susan Hefuna, Adam Henein, Lubaina Himid, Emily Jacir, Joana Hadjithomas & Khalil Joreige, Hayv Kahraman, Ali Kazim, Amal Kenawy, Ali Khadim, Aisha Khalid, Anuar Khalifi, David Koloane, Farideh Lashai, Tala Madani, Taus Makhacheva, Jumana Manna, Marwan, Ahmed Mater, Ahmed Morsi, Fateh Moudarres, Michael Rakowitz, Marwan Rechmaoui, Mohamed Sabry, Mohan Samant, Hrair Sarkissian, Hassan Sharif, Wael Shawky, Anwar Jalal Shemza, Ahmed Shibrain, Shahzia Sikander, Nida Sinnokrot, Rayyane Tabet, Richard Lokiden Wani, Nari Ward, Lionel Wendt, Akram Zaatari, Abdul Hay Mosallam Zarara
