Sharjah Art Foundation has announced Genealogies in the Middle East and Latin America, an online screening programme featuring 21 video and film artists and collectives from the two regions. Taking place June 1 – July 11, the project explores historical and contemporary relationships between artists in the two regions, in order to consider their shared histories of colonisation and the close links developed through several cycles of migration over the last 150 years from nations such as Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan and Iraq to countries in South America such as Peru, Chile, Mexico as well as Brazil, Argentina, Colombia and Venezuela.
