This essay seeks to examine questions relating to the Biennale of Sharjah and occurrences of censorship at the 2003 Biennale. Through an analysis of Okwui Enwezor's article 'The Black Box' from the Documenta XI catalogue, coupled with an examination of three works of art from the 2003 Sharjah Biennale (Philippe Terrier-Hermann's 'The Romans', Wolfgang Staehle's 'Untitled 2001', Zhu Ming's 'July 26, 2002'), the essay will examine how censorship affects the exhibition of International Art in the conservative setting of Sharjah.
