The second edition of Helsinki Biennial took place from 11 June to 17 September 2023. It took place on Vallisaari Island, HAM Helsinki Art Museum and other venues and public places in the city.
The biennial was curated by Joasia Krysa. She is a UK-based, Polish-born curator and scholar working at the intersection of contemporary art and technology.
New Directions May Emerge adopted its title from a quote by anthropologist Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing, who proposes learning from (the art of) “noticing”. With close attention to other people, animals, plants, the environment, data, and other entities around us, the biennial explores how we might find new ways of living in, and understanding, the world.
