Busan Biennale 2024: Seeing in the Dark

17 August–20 October 2024

Titled Seeing in the Dark, this year's edition is curated by Vera Mey & Philippe Pirotte. The 62 participating artists explore how alternative social and religious orders operate in darkness, offering a counter-narrative to European Enlightenment legacies and the belief that knowledge appears only with visibility.
