About United arab emirates

The United Arab Emirates, also known as the UAE, is one of the more stable countries within the Middle East. The UAE is nestled on the Persian Gulf and is made up of seven emirates, including Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Ajman, Ras al-Khaimah, Fujairah, Umm al-Quwain, and Sharjah.

The United Arab Emirates were founded as such in the year 1971. Before then, they were called the Trucial States – a reference to a truce made back in the 19th century between Arab Sheiks and Great Britain.

The United Arab Emirates does really well on the world’s financial market because it is quite wealthy as a source of oil. While the United Arab Emirates may not have a lot of other natural resources, in recent years, more financial and banking institutions have been opening up there, fuelling much growth in the economic sector. In fact, foreign investment in the UAE began in the 1970s and has sky rocketed since then.

With a federal constitutional monarchy, the Al Nahyan Clan of Abu Dhabi alongside Dubai’s Al Maktoum Clan runs the United Arab Emirates. The rulers of each of the seven emirates comprise the Supreme Council, who in turn elects the Council of Ministers. The country’s Federal National Council, featuring forty members, reviews all the proposed laws for the United Arab Emirates. In the courts, both Islamic and secular laws are upheld on the civil, criminal, and high levels.

The United Arab Emirates was ruled by Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan from the founding of the nation in the early 1970s until his death on the 2nd of November 2004. Now his son, Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahayan, rules this Arabic nation.

The United Arab Emirates maintains strong ties with both Islamic and Arab world cultures. Through the Abu Dhabi Cultural Foundation, the government of the UAE works hard to preserve traditional forms of Islamic culture and art.

The vast majority of UAE residents belong to the Muslim religion. It is estimated that about 85 percent of them are Sunni, while the rest are Shi’a. Other major religions in the country include Hindu, Christian, Buddhist, and with a smattering of other minor religions, including Sikh and Parsi.

Sharjah biennial
The Sharjah Biennial 8 (SB8) will present various attempts in visual arts and film that address the growing social, political and environmental challenges the world is facing due to excessive urban development, pollution, political ambitions, and the thoughtless misuse, abuse and exhaustion of natural resources. SB8 will focus on the renewed role of art in addressing a wide range of issues that directly and radically affect, and in an alarming magnitude the human existence on this earth (man's relation to earth and earth's relation to man). The biennial will not only stand for these issues as a venue and a platform for presentations, exhibits and discussions, but will take an active role in commissioning artists to produce new work corresponding to the topic at hand and will also partner with institutions to stimulate wider involvement with the issues brought up particularly amongst educational institutions.

We are aware of the critical ambiguity of the subject we touch, of its growing importance and the great responsibility it carries with it. We are also aware that we are part of the product-producing and -consuming society, and of the constantly growing tribe of biennials, that year-by-year makes a growing number of artists, curators and audiences jet around the globe, hopping from event to event. We are aware that many things we do contribute to the problem being considered. So perhaps, we are better off by not criticizing too much. And inasmuch as Sharjah, being part of the UAE - whose economy is mainly based on fuel reserves and recently benefited tremendously from its power resources utilizing them to create a superficial, man-made world, with its addiction to cars, high-rises and technological progress
