Waves of Movement through Suspension then Release: Finding the voice of Afro-Emiratis

Abstract [en]

Since the documented history was and still mainly is viewed as autonomous, this essay attempts to challenge history’s formal disciplined approach with a narrative from slaves’ own history rather than seeing slavery as an event. The Indian Ocean slavery has not been documented as much as Atlantic slavery history, in which led to a gap within the history of the Persian/Arabian Gulf countries. Moreover, the essay looks specifically at my own family history, as an artist, the interest of documenting such history was to find ways to relate and understand the afterlife of slavery. I raise questions regarding reflecting on the remembrance and presentation of slaves’ history as an amendment process and as an attempt to fill in the gaps in order to understand history and the socio-political positioning of Afro-Emiratis. The essay unfolds with its suspension then release, in three main narratives titled: Fairuz, Dalma, and Zar, that took place in the last century. The methodology was mainly focused on weaving narratives, events, and heritage of Afro Emiratis into a steppingstone to further document and present of an unspoken history.
