The Sharjah Triennial commenced on November 11th, 2023, with the theme of The Beauty of Impermanence: An Architecture of Adaptability. At the center of the abandoned 1970s “Al Madam,” in the desert east of Sharjah, the “Concrete Tent” stands. Created by DAAR, an experimental Palestinian and Swedish Studio, the tent combines elements of a mobile tent and a concrete house. Overall, the tent explores the notion of “permanent temporariness.”
