The Shanghai Biennale

The Shanghai Biennale is a major international art exhibition held every two years in Shanghai, showcasing contemporary artworks from around the world. It functions as a platform for artists to explore current social, political, and cultural themes through diverse media like installation, video, and performance. The event fosters dialogue between artists, audiences, and the broader community, encouraging innovative perspectives and cultural exchange. Organized by the Power Station of Art, China’s first state-sponsored museum dedicated to contemporary art, the Biennale highlights China's evolving role in global contemporary art and promotes artistic experimentation and cultural conversation.
