Ep 3: Hassan Hajjaj - Music and Ritual

View descriptionShare

What are the ways in which identity gets stereotyped and commodified in visual media? Can art draw on diverse histories to express solidarities in the present? 

To find out, listen this episode, recorded before Sharjah Biennial 15 opened, where Hassan Hajjaj is in conversation with SB15  curator Hoor Al Qasimi.

At Sharjah, Hajjaj shows a documentary film called Gnawa Capoeira Brothahood (2022). Tracing the historical similarities between a Moroccan performance art called Gnawa and a Brazilian martial art called Capoeira, the film is on view at Bait Al Serkal, Sharjah till 11 June 2023.

Press play to learn more about Hajjaj’s practice, process and SB15 project as well as what makes his work speak to our current time and place.
