Vivan Sundaram’s new work will be on view at the Sharjah Biennial 15: Thinking Historically in the Present. Conceived by the late Okwui Enwezor and curated by Hoor Al Qasimi, the biennial will feature works by more than 150 artists presented at 16 venues across the emirate. Sundaram is one of 30 artists commissioned to develop new work to mark the Sharjah Biennial’s 30-year anniversary.

"Okwui’s proposition suggests a narrative that is dynamic yet recursive in an ethically accountable way. I present a photography-based project, Six Stations of a Life Pursued (2022), a choreography of bodies that have undergone violence, experienced incarceration, and lived through mourning. The sixth ‘station’ signifies a journey premised on the historical and rehearsed with activist resolve."
