BIENALSUR 2025

The General and Artistic Direction of BIENALSUR, organized by the Universidad Nacional de Tres de Febrero (UNTREF), a public university in Argentina, invites artists and curators of any nationality to submit artistic and/or curatorial projects. The projects selected in this call will be part of the fifth edition to be held in 2025 in various venues, museums, cultural centres, universities and non-traditional spaces in large cities and small towns in different countries.

The International Call towards BIENALSUR 2025 will remain open from Monday, March 4th to Monday, April 8th, 2024. The application can be submitted online, through a platform available in Spanish and English. Proposals that align with contemporary theories of art and culture, seeking to rethink, problematize, or offer alternative perspectives and approaches to the multiplicity of vital experiences of our time, are welcomed.

BIENALSUR upholds the right to culture, and one of its aims is to contribute to the creation of cultural citizenship from the south of the world. Its particular format and its collaborative and networking approach encourage the arts of each region to be present from their own singularities and relative positions. It fosters the development of critical thinking with autonomy with respect to canonical narratives and alternative practices within the world of art and culture in its modes of production, exhibition, circulation, and consumption.
