Metricize
Over 7 days, ten drummers from different horizons and origins visit Sharjah and meet local percussionists who introduce them to the rhythmic traditions of the Gulf.
On the mornings of the first 3 days of the biennial, in solo, the drummers took on alleyways, parking lots, and markets around the biennial.
In the afternoon, they get closer to the biennial and played on its rooftops in duos, trios and quartets.
At night they all gathered and performed in the public squares of the heritage area and the biennale.
