  11.6-11.8 Closing program details

  등록일 :

  16th Gwangju Biennale Closing Program While an exhibition unfolds within a defined period, artistic practices take shape and continue over much longer durations—through repetition and rehearsal, research and learning, relationships and collaboration. What we encounter in an exhibition may be only one part of these ongoing practices, or one form they take at a particular moment. Ahead of its closing on November 15, the 16th Gwangju Biennale, You Must Change Your Life, presents a Closing Program from November 6–8. Through performances and walks in and around the exhibition hall, workshops, screenings, and conversations, the program explores how artistic practices are sustained and shared over time, while reflecting on the experiences and questions that emerged in the making of the Biennale. It asks what an exhibition leaves behind and what kinds of change these experiences might make possible for us. 🗓 Dates: November 6 (Fri)–8 (Sun), 2026 📍 Venues: Gwangju Biennale Exhibition Hall, Ge
