Kyiv Biennial

Kyiv Biennial is the international forum for art, knowledge, and politics that integrates exhibitions and discussion platforms. It adopts an interdisciplinary perspective at the intersection of science, politics, and art in order to reflect on the crucial issues of the contemporary world. Kyiv Biennial is organized by the Visual Culture Research Center.[1]

Kyiv Biennial 2015 and 2017

The first edition of Kyiv Biennial in 2015, The School of Kyiv, included six "schools" – conceptual platforms promoting the dialogue between Ukrainian and international artists, intellectuals, and the public. In the spring of 2016, The School of Kyiv expanded to Europe, and its departments were opened in various cultural capitals.[2]

The next edition, The Kyiv International – Kyiv Biennial 2017, explored the emancipatory potential of the idea of the political International. The second part of this event called The Kyiv International – '68 NOW happened on May 2018, commemorating the 50th anniversary of May 1968.[3]

Kyiv Biennial 2019

This year's Kyiv Biennial, Black Cloud, will focus on the political and cultural role of modern information technologies as well as social transformations that have happened in Eastern Europe over the past three decades.[4]
