The new administration continues a cycle of institutional transformation, the strengthening of educational initiatives, record-breaking visitor numbers, and the international consolidation of the Bienal de São Paulo.

Over four months, the edition brought together an intense public programme and long-term experiences.

A pioneering platform brings together art, technology, and accessibility in an unprecedented digital mediation experience.

Putting together an exhibition on the scale of a Bienal is a great challenge. To document this two-month process – from constructing the architecture with the installation of walls in the Pavilion to the final adjustments and the installation of artworks alongside the artists – we invited three photographers to capture details, faces, and moments of creation. The third part of this visual essay, produced in August 25 at the Bienal Pavilion, is signed by Ilana Bar.

Entitled Comigo ninguém pode, the exhibition is curated by Diane Lima and features the artists Rosana Paulino and Adriana Varejão, who will occupy the Brazilian Pavilion from May 2026.

Art is a collective exercise. It takes many hands to build an exhibition. Have you ever wondered who the artist is and who are the people who worked on each artwork? This essay explores the category of portraiture, highlighting artists, installation teams, curators, and staff of the Fundação Bienal. The second part of this visual essay, produced between August 18 and September 4 at the Bienal Pavilion and in artists’ studios, is signed by Fe Avila.

Through in-depth research in the Bienal Archive, the artist Gustavo Caboco, with Tipuici Manoki, produced a digital artwork and a publication commissioned by the Fundação Bienal de São Paulo.

Based on an interview with Alberto Svevo – son of Wanda Svevo, the founder of the Bienal Archive – we put together a profile of his mother from an intimate point of view.

Reporter and art critic Tatiane de Assis conducted an interview for +bienal with Chilean historian, philosopher and art critic Gonzalo Leiva Quijada, illustrated by images of a work by Juliana dos Santos. Check it out!
