Curators Hoor Al-Qasimi and Peter Lewis have selected works that articulate the multiple yet general discourses between aesthetics and politics in terms of both a diversification and coinciding of representations and insurgencies. In the situation of current hostilities, the Biennial aims to address the aesthetic in a time that urgently seeks an ethical disposition. The Biennial presents works in their dialogical, social relations emerging between dangerous fractures.
