Sharjah Foundation Exhibition Explores Memory, Architecture and Catastrophe Ethics

The Sharjah Foundation in the United Arab Emirates is presenting an exhibition that examines themes of memory, architectural witness, and the ethical considerations of displaying disaster. The show features work by artist Jorge Tacla, including his piece 'Identidad Oculta (Hidden Identity)163' from 2022, which is part of his ongoing series 'Identidades Ocultas' that began in 2005. The exhibition addresses how time functions both as a destructive and preservative force in relation to historical events and cultural memory.
