LAHORE BIENNALE NAMES ARTISTS PARTICIPATING IN SECOND EDITION
The Lahore Biennale Foundation has released its list of over seventy artists who willparticipate in the second edition of the Lahore Biennale (LB02), “Between the Sun and theMoon,” taking place between January 26 and February 29. Curated by Hoor Al Qasimi,the director of the Sharjah Art Foundation, the exhibition will focus on the Global South—“where ongoing social disaffection is being aggravated by climate change”—and will beheld at various cultural and heritage sites throughout the city of Lahore, Pakistan,including the Gaddafi Stadium and the Lahore Museum.
Commenting on the theme, Al Qasimi said: “For centuries, inhabitants of these regionsoriented themselves with reference to the sun, the moon, and the constellations. Howmight we reflect on our place within the cosmos today, at this conjuncture of planetaryclimate crisis and polarities between societies?” She added: “LB02 looks upwards with aview to forging new resonances and new imaginings of the future that encompass the full
breadth of its material and virtual possibilities, growing from a tradition of intra-regionalmobility of ideas, people, flora, and fauna.”
The event will feature more than twenty new commissions by local and internationalartists, including an immersive multimedia installation and performative experienceby Almagul Menlibayeva that is inspired by Timurid ruler and astronomer Sultan UlughBeg; a film by Alia Farid exploring humanity’s multidimensional relationship with animalsand the environment; an installation and publication by Reem Falaknaz on pigeon racingas a shared cultural link between Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates; and a bronzesculpture by Taus Makhacheva that depicts the fragmentary narratives of twelve fictionalfemale characters, each accompanied by sound and poetry by women writers such asRachida Madani and Warsan Shire.
The full list of participating artists is as follows:
