Learn about the curatorial project of the 35th Bienal de São Paulo
The Fundação Bienal releases the first curatorial text written by Diane Lima, Grada Kilomba, Hélio Menezes and Manuel Borja-Villel announcing the title and theme of the 35th Bienal de São Paulo – choreographies of the impossible, which will take place from September to December 2023. The text introduces the key concepts and movements of the next Bienal de São Paulo, the biggest contemporary art exhibition of the southern hemisphere and the second oldest in the world after the Venice Biennale.
The idea of forming a group with a horizontal structure without the figure of a chief curator was suggested by the team of curators and will be central to their project for the 35th Bienal. Diane Lima is an independent curator, writer and researcher; Grada Kilomba, an interdisciplinary artist, writer and academic; Hélio Menezes is a curator, anthropologist and researcher; and Manuel Borja-Villel is a researcher, art historian and director of the Reina Sofia Museum in Madrid. Learn more about the curatorial collective of the 35th Bienal, announced in March of 2022, here.
