Art Intervention in the Mleiha Desert
Location
Mleiha Desert, Sharjah
Mleiha Desert, Sharjah
Date
December 2022
December 2022
Useless Palace is a site-specific art intervention followed by a group exhibition that brought ten artists to an abandoned village in the Mleiha Desert, Sharjah. Each artist selected a site within the village and transformed it into a personal workspace. Exploring themes of nomadism, discovery, and connection to the past, the artists assumed the roles of desert wanderers, archaeologists, and modern storytellers. The result was a raw and spontaneous body of work — murals, installations, photographs, and canvases — all created on location. In the absence of a traditional audience, the artists became observers of their own dialogue with the site, echoing one of the key principles of street art: direct engagement with space. Lost in sand and time, the site emerged as a symbolic meeting point between the UAE’s historical memory and the imaginative force of its creative present.
