WHARFAGE is a two-part project by CAMP for the 9th Sharjah Biennial. This publication accompanies a series of radio broadcasts at the Sharjah Creek. From 18-21 March 2009, from 7-10 pm, one could tune into Radio Meena on 100.3 FM, within a radius of about 2 kilometres from the port.

Summary: WHARFAGE is part of the 'Past of the Coming Days' programme of the biennial, curated by Tarek Abou el Fetouh. It is a project on the creek in Sharjah, from where a large number of dhows leave for 'Somalia'. Somalia, a collection of semi-state entities, is also thereby a kind of 'free trade zone'. This arrow of trade- in which the ship is not an escape from but an entry into, an engagement with, the space of conflict- is our subject. The book consists primarily of shipping manifests which act as a series of "images" of the darkness of the hold, and a calendar of what travelled in particular directions, on the water.
