In a world facing climate change, water scarcity, and rapid urban expansion, contemporary art is increasingly becoming a space where humanity reflects on its relationship with nature. At the heart of this movement lies a powerful question: What remains when everything is washed away?
At the eastern edge of the United Arab Emirates, where the Gulf of Oman meets the rugged coastline of Kalba, a former industrial site has been transformed into a monumental space for reflection. The Sharjah Art Foundation presents Of Land and Water, its first formal exhibition at the Kalba Ice Factory, marking a significant cultural moment not only for Sharjah, but for the wider Middle East.
Palestinian artist Dina Nazmi Khorchid stands at a powerful intersection where memory, landscape, and loss converge. Her practice transforms nature into a witness, textiles into an emotional architecture, and water into a shifting mirror of histories—personal and collective. Through weaving, print, and layered materials, she maps a terrain shaped by displacement, longing, and the fragile idea of home.
Set along the quiet coastline of Kalba, Of Land and Water unfolds as more than an exhibition—it becomes a meditation on everything that moves, settles, erodes, and transforms. Drawing from the Sharjah Art Foundation Collection, the show assembles large-scale works that explore how land and sea shape identity, memory, and the fragile geographies we call home.
