Sharjah Biennial 16: to carry, running from February 6 to June 15, 2025, will dedicate an entire pavilion to Viswanadhan, showcasing more than 40 works, including paintings, works on paper, photographs, and films. Sharjah Biennial 16: to carry will be curated by five curators: Natasha Ginwala (Artistic Director of COLOMBOSCOPE, Colombo); Amal Khalaf (Director of Cubitt, London and Associate Curator of Public Practice, Serpentine Galleries, London); Zeynep Öz (independent curator, Istanbul and New York); Alia Swastika (Director of the Jogja Biennale Foundation, Yogyakarta); and Megan Tamati- Quennell (Curator of Modern and Contemporary Māori and Indigenous Art, New Zealand). The curators will propose distinct but interconnected projects that will together represent a diverse and global range of perspectives across the spectrum of contemporary art.

The curators are developing projects in dialogue with each other, using the Biennial's 30-year history as a platform for artistic experimentation and discourse. Ginwala, Khalaf, Öz, Swastika and Tamati-Quennell will individually invite a selection of artists across a variety of backgrounds and disciplines, to highlight both leading and emerging talents in visual art, performance, music and publication. Continuing the Foundation's engagement with the many communities throughout Sharjah, the Biennial will once again activate venues across the emirate.
