Why there are sea monsters lurking in early world maps

Peter Barber

Fathi Hassan was born in Cairo in 1957 to Nubian and Egyptian parents. His family were forced to leave their homeland of Nubia when the Aswan High Dam was built in 1952, flooding a vast area now under Lake Nasser. Whether in photographs, paintings, installations, drawings or, often, directly on walls, his texts are deliberately illegible intended to highlight the plight of lost languages and oral history as a result of colonial domination. 

SHIFTING SANDS is Fathi's response to items from The Sunderland Collection, during his participation in its Art Programme. Historical works.... new works... etc
