Gwangju Biennale
7 September–1 December 2024The oldest biennial of contemporary art in Asia, Gwangju Biennale was inaugurated in 1995 as part of the commemoration of the 1980 Gwangju Democratisation Movement. From the beginning, the Biennale was conceived as a platform for experimental contemporary art that engages with social, cultural, and political issues. Themes of particular importance to the Biennial, notably democracy, social justice, and human rights, reflect the historical context of Gwangju.
In addition to Gwangju Biennale Exhibition Hall, the Biennale unfolds over multiple venues throughout the city. Bringing works from artists of diverse cultural backgrounds to the city, the Biennial has had a profound influence on the development of contemporary Korean art and facilitated exchange of ideas and conversation between the region and the rest of the world.
