Highlights from the Gwangju Biennale Curated by Defne Ayas and Natasha Ginwala, this year’s edition explores transnational kinships and inherited healing practices to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Gwangju May Uprising One of Asia’s most prominent art exhibitions, the Gwangju Biennale – originally slated for 2020, but postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic – opened its 13th edition exploring the limits of individual cognition and the transcendent possibilities of what co-curators Defne Ayas and Natasha Ginwala define in their mission statement as ‘the extended mind’. Titled ‘Minds Rising, Spirits Tuning’, this iteration includes works by 69 artists across four venues, a series of site-specific commissions around the city, and a digital programme of podcasts, videos and online publications.
