Accreditation for media and cultural professionals for the preview events of the 36th Bienal de São Paulo is now open.

Drawing from bird migration routes and river flows, the 36th Bienal de São Paulo brings together 120 participants and encourages urgent reflection on humanity, nature, and listening amid global crises.

In the last stage of the program, the 36th Bienal de São Paulo seeks to discuss the intersections between art, technology, and humanity from the point of view of artists, scientists, and researchers

The third Invocation of the 36th Bienal de São Paulo highlights Taarab culture and philosophy, exploring its expressions through music and poetry, while considering Taarab as a space of conjugating humanity.

Continuing the series of Invocations, a sequence of programs traveling through four cities worldwide in anticipation of the 36th Bienal de São Paulo, the project arrives in Guadeloupe, a territory in Central America. This edition, titled “Bigidi mè pa tonbé!” [Totter, but never fall!], will be held from December 5 to 7 at La FABRI’K, a space led by choreographer, anthropologist, and educator Dr. Léna Blou, with dance as its central theme.

The first Invocation of the 36th Bienal de São Paulo – Not All Travellers Walk Roads – Of Humanity as Practice will take place in Marrakech, Morocco, on November 14 and 15. Titled Souffles: On Deep Listening and Active Reception, the Invocation  focuses on the circularity as well as the precarity of breath, Gnawa music as a way of being, Sufi cultures, and listening as a practice of coexistence, as well as place- and space-making.
