Program
The third edition of the Biennale für Freiburg will be accompanied by a multi-layered supporting program aimed at deepening the content of the exhibition while opening up new perspectives on the interdependence of tourism, urban development, and global power structures.
Performances, workshops, and discussion formats will raise questions around commercialization, exoticization, and belonging, while historical and contemporary narratives of tourism and travel will be critically questioned. The supporting program not only opens up modes of engagement with the exhibitions of the biennale but also expands the thematic debate to include additional facets.
Through the participatory formats, the Biennale für Freiburg 3 pursues a process-orientated approach by inviting the public to take an active part in the discussion. In this way, the city not only becomes an exhibition venue, but also an object of investigation itself — a lively space for artistic reflection and social debate.
Participation in the supporting and mediation program is free of charge.
Please note that advance registration is required for certain events.
