One of the most important works launched and being exhibited at Xposure 2017 is the ‘Faces of Sharjah’ by award-winning photographer Muhammed Muheisen. The 12-image collection remained the centre of attraction during the first day of the International Photography Festival organised by Sharjah Government Media Bureau (SGMB) running at the Expo Centre Sharjah.

Muhammed Muheisen, who is a two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist, has been documenting the refugee crisis around the world for over a decade and is the founder of Everyday Refugees Foundation.

The collection is of portraits of people of different nationalities who have made Sharjah their home. It captures the moments, natural sceneries and inspiring architecture for which Sharjah is known. One of the pictures is of a 30-year-old Pakistani bank employee enjoying a sunset with his family at Al Khan in Sharjah, showing the multi-cultural side of the city.
