An initiative of Sharjah Art Foundation, Focal Point is an annual art book fair that places a special focus on UAE-based publishers and functions as a critical space for knowledge sharing and community building.

The Africa Institute booth will make our publications among other key works by African and African diaspora available for purchase. To browse through the latest publications, click here.

The three day book fair will feature a compelling selection of printed material by artists’ presses, bookmakers, self-publishers and non-commercial cultural producers. Audiences can look forward to publishers’ presentations, book launches, community workshops and author readings. Highlights also include the launch of new books published by the Sharjah Art Foundation, live print stations exploring nonfiction publishing practices and booths curated by independent art book fairs, including Miss Read: The Berlin Art Book Fair, Bangkok Art Book Fair and Recreo: Valencia Art Book Fair.

Stay tuned to the SAF website for the final list of participating publishers and the full program which will be released a month prior to the fair.
