Dates: October 24, 2025 – February 1, 2026
Location: Multiple venues across historic Cuenca (museums, heritage houses, galleries)
Opening: Likely coinciding with October 24, with exhibitions running through February 1
Times: Usual museum hours—typically Tue–Sun daytime; exact schedules not yet announced
Exhibition Description
With the theme “The Game”, the Biennial reimagines exhibition-making as a contest — curators themselves become players. It revitalizes the relationship between curators, artists, and city, including public voting for curatorial proposals. The intention: foster democratic engagement, experimentation, and local-national creative voices
