Among the presentation, Zanele Muholi continues their exploration of representation and the politics of looking through photography and sculpture, while Wura-Natasha Ogunji works with thread, ink, and graphite to explore movement, physicality, and women’s bodies in public space. Nandipha Mntambo draws on historical narratives through sculpture, while Zizipho Poswa’s ceramic vessels engage with matrilineal knowledge and Xhosa ceremonial traditions.

On view this week: Maggie Otieno’s Maggie Otieno Sojourner: The Difference Is the Same, opening at Efie Gallery in Dubai on 23 September.
Working with reclaimed wood, metal, and mixed media, Otieno explores memory, movement, history, and place through materials marked by time.
At the heart of the exhibition are 150-year-old railway sleepers that travelled from India to Kenya during the construction of the railway, alongside works made from fragments of wooden canoes.
What stories can materials carry, and what happens when they’re given a new life?
Sojourner: The Difference Is the Same runs 23 September–13 November 2026 at Efie Gallery, Dubai.
What if the art worth investing in is the art you don’t understand yet? 👀
Artists are creating in increasingly experimental, unconventional, and interdisciplinary ways. So why should the spaces supporting them stay the same?
For Salome Asega, investing in new creative practices is also a practice of learning—being willing to say:
“I don’t know what this is, but I’m willing to follow this thread.”
Because sometimes, you don’t need to understand an idea immediately to recognize that someone is onto something.
🎙️ From Folasade Ologundudu’s conversation with Salome Asega on Everything Is Connected.
Would you invest in an artwork or creative practice you didn’t fully understand?

“I would like to be just Julian. And I’m a French Caribbean Afro descendant.”
For French-Caribbean artist Julien Creuzet, identity can hold many layers — without needing to be reduced to a single word or definition.
In this conversation, Julian reflects on representing France at the 60th Venice Biennale, his identity as a French Caribbean Afro-descendant, and his decision not to explicitly use terms such as “colonial,” “slavery,” or “decolonial” in the presentation.
His immersive practice brings together sculpture, video, sound, poetry, and movement, exploring water, diaspora, memory, history, and the connections between the Caribbean, Africa, Europe, and the wider Atlantic.
Julien is currently participating in the 2026 Toronto Biennial of Art, Things Fall Apart, which explores rupture, diaspora, migration, water networks, maritime histories, and interconnected global histories. The Biennial runs September 26–December 20, 2026.

“Art was the one space where we could ask questions that weren’t being asked anywhere else.” — Sir John Akomfrah
Ghanaian-born British artist and filmmaker Sir John Akomfrah CBE RA uses film and immersive installations to explore memory, migration, identity, and the Black diasporic experience.
Across more than four decades, his work has brought overlooked histories and contemporary questions into focus—inviting us to look, listen, and reconsider what we think we know.
A closer look at the work and words of Sir John Akomfrah.
“None of these projects would be possible without collaborating.” — Hoor Al Qasimi Hoor Al-Qasimi حور القاسمي
From Light Work Presents Everything Is Connected: The Sharjah Biennial 16 Edition, Hoor Al Qasimi reflects on the importance of collaboration in bringing artists, institutions, and communities together.
In this conversation, Al Qasimi discusses how artists from different parts of the world bring their stories, histories, and knowledge into dialogue through the Sharjah Biennial.
Rather than asking artists to continually produce new work for individual institutions, she speaks to the importance of collaboration — creating opportunities for artists to develop meaningful works that can be shared and experienced in different contexts, sites, and cities.
As the exhibition changes with its surroundings, so too can the meaning of the work.
Revisit this illuminating conversation with Hoor Al Qasimi and Folasade Ologundudu as they explore collaboration, contemporary art, and the role of Sharjah as a meeting point for artists and ideas from around the world.

“I always like to think about where my work is gonna be exhibited and how that context and the cultural history can influence the interpretation of it.” — Hugh Hayden
Hugh Hayden
Where we see a work of art matters. The space it inhabits tells a story all its own. What happens when artists are intentional about the physical spaces in which their work is placed, viewed, and experienced?
In this episode of Light Work Presents: Everything Is Connected, artist Hugh Hayden reflects on how place, cultural history, and environment shape the way we experience art.
