Sharjah Art Foundation is organizing, as part of its Fall 2021 programme, the ninth edition of the exhibition "Sharjah 9 Point of View", the annual initiative specialized in photography.
The exhibition will be held from the 18th of this month to the 18th of December at Al Hamriya Studios in Sharjah.
The open invitation for this year attracted more than 500 applications, of which 53 photographers were selected from more than 30 countries to participate in the exhibition.
For the first time, the exhibition offers a prize of $1,500, awarded to a winner in each of the categories: conceptual photography, experimental photography, documentary photojournalism, and performance photography, based on the selection of a jury consisting of: Ammar Al-Attar (artist), Sham Anbashi (photographer and architect), Mohamed Kilito (photographer) and Alia Al Shamsi (writer and artist), and the winners in each category will be announced with the opening of the exhibition next Saturday.
The works participating in this cycle of nearly 200 photos offer an in-depth and inspiring approach to the lives and obsessions of different segments from all over the world, as photographers explore through their lenses the world around them, reflecting their personal experiences and the narratives they wish to share with the public, in light of environmental, political and cultural conditions. They live, in the form of private portraits of family life and memories, or of a turbulent history and political turmoil in their countries.
