The 35th Ljubljana Biennale of Graphic Arts entitled From the void came gifts of the cosmos will open on September 15 with a programme of events—guided tours, artist talks, performances and concerts—that will extend throughout the following weekend. The Biennale is on view until January 14, 2024.
The Artistic Director of the Biennale, Ibrahim Mahama and the curatorial team (Exit Frame Collective, Alicia Knock, Selom Koffi Kudjie, Inga Lāce, Beya Othmani and Patrick Nii Okanta Ankrah) have invited artists and collectives from Africa, Europe and beyond, working in printmaking, film, installation and performance, to present new works created specifically for the Biennale alongside existing works. Printmaking works from the Biennale archive will also be exhibited.
