Sharjah Biennial 15: Thinking Historically in the Present will feature works by more than 150 artists, including never-before-seen works and 30 major commissions, presented at 16 venues across the emirate.

Conceived by the late Okwui Enwezor and curated by the Foundation’s Director Hoor Al Qasimi, Sharjah Biennial 15 (SB15) reflects on Enwezor’s visionary work, which transformed contemporary art and has influenced the evolution of institutions and biennials around the world, including the Sharjah Biennial. The Biennial is being realised with the support of the Sharjah Biennial 15 Working Group and Advisory Committee.

SB15 runs from 7 February to 11 June 2023, with opening week events scheduled from 7 to 12 February.
