Titled “Bodies of Water” the biennale opens on November 10, with a five-day program titled PHASE 01: A WET-RUN REHEARSAL.

This will be the first stage of an eight-month extended program that will allow the artists, thinkers and curators contributing to the Biennale to develop their work in close collaboration with the City of Shanghai, its people, networks of activism, organizations, and institutions. “Bodies of Water” will culminate with the opening of PHASE 03: AN EXHIBITION on April 10, 2021.

The Biennale’s curatorial board is made up of Andrés Jaque, YOU Mi, Marina Otero Verzier, Lucia Pietroiusti, and Filipa Ramos.

Among other participants, artists Itziar Ocariz, Himali Singh Soin, Tong Wenmin and Clare Britton; thinkers Astrida Neimanis, Sun Xiangchen, Zhao Tingyang, Weng Zijian, Wang Hongzhe, Hou Hanru, and Mark Wigley; and filmmakers the Karrabing Film Collective, Yong Xiang Li, Tuan Andrew Nguyen, Pema Tseden, and Jenna Sutela will advocate for the Biennale’s engagement in processes of planetary reconnection relying on transspecies collectivity.
