Throughout its editions between 2015-2021, the Gothenburg-based biennial invited curatorial proposals engaging with the potential of art to contribute to historical narration; reflecting on the formalization of European values and the stories of nation-states and highlighting artistic responses to different present crises. The coming edition of the project will celebrate plural narratives for now and tomorrow, and we look forward to collaborating with João Laia to bring his curatorial research closer to Gothenburg and its coordinates. (Ioana Leca, Artistic Director GIBCA)
