Mina Zayed is no longer what it was, and it’s not yet what it is intended to be. It lives, as photographer Finn-Murray Jones describes it in an essay, in “suspended existence”, hovering between its past as a key trading port and its future as a commercial and tourism hub.
In the Warehouse421 exhibition Mina Zayed: Reflections on Past Futures, 11 artists explore this liminal state, the port’s surrounding infrastructure and the communities that give life to the neighbourhood. At the heart of the show is the examination of place – how it is created, recreated and defined, and by whom.
