Dialogue
Mahmoud Khaled (artist); Yasmine El Rashidi (writer and critic)
This conversation focuses on Mahmoud Khaled’s Pool of Perspectives – 2030 (2025), commissioned by Sharjah Art Foundation for Sharjah Biennial 16. The work departs from an ‘empty pool’ as an architectural site of malfunction, transforming it into a stage for an imagined living future. This session will highlight particular aspects of Khaled’s practice, such as his thinking about futurity, readings of desire and a contemplative look at western historical art canons and their echoes across various histories of the region.
