The Luleå Biennial 2024 - On the threshold of 1:1
Under the artistic direction of Aude Christel Mgba and Bruno Alves de Almeida, the biennial gathers artistic and architectural positions which respond to the drastic changes occurring in the built and natural environments of Norrbotten. It also emphasizes their connections to other geographies and communities worldwide. Through exhibitions, public space interventions, and events, the biennial sheds light on resilient practices and presents empowering alternatives emerging from contexts of profound transition and transformation.
The Luleå Biennial - On the threshold of 1:1 is open between March 2 and May 26, 2024
