Exhibition AL SEEF features art works from collection of Barjeel Art Foundation (Sharjah, UAE) of artists Adam Henein , Camille Zakharia , Effat Nagy, Raafat Ishak, Ragheb Ayad, Nazar Yahya, Yto Barrada and Ziad Antar. The colloquial Arabic word Al-Seef translates into English as ‘water’s edge’, and denotes geography or stretches of land located along a coast. This exhibition offers a window into several distinct episodes of history, where proximity to water has either shaped or played a significant role in the development of a place. Similar to shining a spotlight on select and specific areas of a stage, this exhibition highlights several individual moments of history, outlined below, which took place and unfolded in coastal regions and in the presence of eminent waters. Exhibition is accompanied by a fully illustrated English/Arabic Catalogue. Exhibition will continue until 31st of March 2015
