New Mexico provides both the setting and an important point of departure for There Are Other Worlds. The region’s layered histories of Indigenous presence and displacement, migration, cultural exchange, and artistic experimentation offer a rich context in which to consider how different worlds might materialize.The Biennial places contemporary artistic practices in conversation with New Mexico’s distinctive cultural histories, convening artists from around the world who explore issues of belonging, transformation, survival, ecology, and the future.
“Bringing the Biennial to Santa Fe again is an opportunity to connect artists and ideas from around the world with a place that has such a deep and distinctive history of artistic experimentation,” said Louis Grachos, Phillips Executive Director of SITE SANTA FE. “We’re excited to present the thirteenth iteration of the Biennial and to welcome this incredible group of artists to Santa Fe.”As with the previous International Biennial, There Are Other Worlds will extend beyond SITE SANTA FE to various locations throughout the city. Together, these venues will invite audiences to experience the Biennial across a range of cultural and architectural contexts.
