Of Land and Water: Works from the Sharjah Art Foundation Collection brings together selections that grapple with some of these questions, offering different perspectives on our association with and relationship to land, water and homeland. In works by nine artists and collectives from around the world, the ambitions of the postcolonial nation-state are juxtaposed with the grief of those who have been deprived of their native land or whose fragmented identities go unrecognised by the state. Water flows through many of the works, appearing as a border that defines territories, a gateway to the unknown and an open network that allows mythologies, histories and music to seep through artificial divides.
