Next Saturday, the activities of the "Tawariah" exhibition by the artist Zarina Bhimji, organized by the Sharjah Art Foundation, will be launched next Saturday in the art buildings of Al-Marija Square.

The exhibition, which was evaluated by Sheikha Hoor Bint Sultan Al Qasimi, President of the Foundation, embodies the creative practices of the artist Bhimji, who throughout her artistic career tried to formulate her questions through sound, image, material and language, in search of the cosmic dimension in its physical and abstract manifestations.

Sheikha Hoor Al Qasimi said: “A tournament exhibition is an important opportunity for the local audience to learn about Bhimji's work and her rich artistic practice, as it is her first major exhibition in the region. Her works also provide an opportunity for the public to interact with the rich visual and audio language emanating from her deep observation of the world around her.

"Bhimji's work urges the recipient to think beyond the prevailing historical narratives by merging biography, history and collective memory together, to create a reflection of place and belonging," she added.

The exhibition also focuses on the beginnings of the artist's explorations of patterns of knowledge ignored by the consecrated systems, as well as her subsequent study of architecture and space, as critical factors in human experiences and feelings, and includes a number of her creative works, including films, photographs and installations, which she produced over three decades.

The artist's projects are crystallized after painstaking research and field visits, each of which lasts for several weeks to different geographical locations, during which it forms a strong bond and emotion with the place that becomes an external studio stripped of its historical and political privacy, as her works depict different regions of the world, such as: Uganda and the Kingdom. United, India, Zanzibar, Kenya, and others.

Through her works presented in the exhibition, Bhimji explores life, sound, beauty and love as a form of resistance.

The camera is also used as a tool to monitor specific human moments, and to ask a set of questions about how we understand ourselves in various stages of time, and most importantly, how we approach and rethink our time, or in a time that goes beyond our direct experience.

Collectibles

Bhimji's work is part of the public holdings of many museums and art institutions.

She holds a BA in Fine Arts from Goldsmiths, University of London (1986), and an MA in Fine Arts from Slade College of Fine Arts, University College London (1989).

The artist's projects crystallize after research and visits to different geographical locations.
