520			_aMigrasophia is the first curatorial art exhibition to be staged in the entire UAE which explores contemporary art practices from the post-Soviet terrain of Central Asia, and its neighbouring regions of the Caucasus and the Caspian in a bid to introduce new art practices from Asia to Sharjah's art audiences. The exhibition features appraisal works of 18 artists including collaboration and collectives, who are exploring migratory post-Soviet visual aesthetics and reflecting on the impact of globalisation on contemporary art, society and current thinking. Featured artists include: Lida Abdul, Farhad Ahrarnia, Reza Aramesh, Said Atabekov, Zeigam Azizov, Babi Badalov, Sonia Balassanian, Ergin Cavusoglu, Gulnara Kasmalieva and Muratbek Djumaliev, Galim Madanov & Zauresh Terekbay, Taus Makhacheva, Erbossyn Meldibekov, Koka Ramishvilli, Diyor Razikov, Karen Sargasyn, Slavs and Tatars, Sophia Tabatadze, and Yelena Vorobyeva & Viktor Vorobyev. The exhibition takes its title and inspiration from Azerbaijan born London-based contemporary artist and philosopher, Zeigam Azizov who in 2000 coined the term Migrasophia as the study into the complex relationship between migration and philosophy following the disintegration of the USSR in 1991.
