From Istanbul to Madrid, BIENALSUR 2025, the first transnational biennial of contemporary art, continues its journey across Europe through January 2026
Since summer 2025, BIENALSUR has been deploying a transnational contemporary art journey across 34 countries. Through interactive exhibitions, site-specific installations, residencies, and round-table discussions, the biennial asserts an open and decentralized model, free from market-driven logic and rigid formats, involving both major institutions and territories outside traditional art circuits.
In Europe, the program continues through January 2026, offering nearly 40 events in total across 11 countries. In partnership with renowned institutions such as the Centre Pompidou, the Museo Reina Sofía, and the Irish Museum of Modern Art, BIENALSUR offers a cycle of exhibitions and encounters fostering dialogue between artists, thinkers, and diverse audiences.
