Until his death in 2016 Hassan Sharif was a pioneer in experimental contemporary art in the Middle East. He created his works from inexpensive everyday materials as a protest against art as something for the elite.

– The purpose of the exhibition is to draw attention to Malmö as an international town that includes, inspires and reflects everyone who lives in there, not just the white middle class who are usually the most represented in art circles, says Heidi Hakala, communicator at Malmö Art Gallery.
