SEMİHA BERKSOY
'IN THE HEART OF ANOTHER COUNTRY'

CURATOR | OMAR KHOLEIF

Semiha Berksoy's works can be seen as part of the collection exhibition 'In the Heart of Another Country', drawn from the international collection of Sharjah Art Foundation, UAE. The exhibition showcases the work of more than 60 artists through over 150 artworks in all media, many of which have rarely, if ever, been seen outside of their original context. The artists featured in the exhibition have traversed migratory routes from South and West Asia, through Africa, and the Caribbean. Recently restored installations are presented alongside contemporary acquisitions, which narrate a communal story of kinship amongst artists—one often developed against a backdrop of political turmoil and social unrest. In the Heart of Another Country embodies Sharjah Art Foundation’s critical role in advancing East-East and South-South understanding of art making, forging a meeting point— a connective tissue that nurtures a polyphonous and inclusive art history.
