SHARJAH BIENNIAL 15
My Role
During my tenure with the Sharjah Art Foundation (SAF) on a temporary contract, I was pivotal in coordinating the production and preparation of exhibition spaces for Sharjah Biennial Edition 15. This internationally acclaimed event spanned 11 distinct venues across multiple cities and encompassed over 25 sub-galleries. My responsibilities extended to overseeing the detailed preparation of these venues to accommodate a wide range of artistic installations. I collaborated closely with artists and technical teams to ensure that each space met the unique specifications of the exhibited artworks, maintaining the highest standards of quality and artistic integrity. Additionally, I supported fellow production coordinators, providing hands-on assistance in managing logistics, timelines, and the seamless execution of complex installation processes. This experience honed my ability to handle multifaceted projects, adapt to dynamic challenges, and contribute to the realisation of large-scale, multi-venue cultural events.Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve, and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later, it will take care of itself. It always does.
Project Goal
The Sharjah Biennial is a platform for artists to showcase contemporary art and cultural programs in Sharjah and beyond. It aims to reflect on its history and support dialogue and art production outside the West.
