UAE Coastal Archaeological and Heritage Project (UAE-CAHP)

Uzma Rizvi was a 2017-18 AIPS Fellow and conducted research in the United Arab Emirates for three months. Rizvi writes: "At the core of this project is the desire to contextualize the many relationships between the UAE and Pakistan/Northern India through time, to theorize the concept of a ‘coast’ as a threshold which has the capacity to engender forms of marginal subject positionality, and the impact such a position makes on subsequent aesthetic forms and critical heritage discourse."
