Featuring both Brazilian and international artists, the Biennaial aims to make contemporary art known in Brazil, push the country’s access to the art scene in other metropolises and to further establish São Paulo as an international art centre. The biennial serves to bring Brazilian art closer to an international audience, and vice-versa. The international exhibitions are held under the direction of rotating chief curators.
For the 34th edition of the Biennial in 2020, The Showroom will guest curate the Biennial's publications and will become an institutional member within this edition's network of partnerships.
