20 February–24 May 2024
Two works by Małgorzata Mirga-Tas will be included in the 2024 edition of the Diriyah Contemporary Art Biennale opening 20 February.
The Biennale takes place in the JAX District in Diriyah, a town adjacent to the capital city of Riyadh and home to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of At-Turaif. The curatorial team is led by globally renowned curator Ute Meta Bauer as Artistic Director, with Co-Curators: Wejdan Reda (SA), Anca Rujoiu (RO) and Rose Lejeune (UK), and with Adjunct Curator Rahul Gudipudi (IN). Together, they bring experiences and insights from diverse geographic backgrounds, extending the Biennale exhibition with artistic formats such as performance, sound, research-based practices, and digital forms.
Titled After Rain, the 2024 Diriyah Contemporary Art Biennale convenes multiple generations of artists who are engaged with investigating the complex history of the region, sustaining the human-nature continuum, examining the built environment, observing the state of the surrounding landscapes, and encouraging us to listen more closely.
