Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art

Since the onset of modernity, our planet has endured successive and ruinous changes that have accelerated alarmingly from the start of the third millennium. The place to which we have arrived today is not by chance: it is the result of historical formations constructed over centuries. In fact, the present world is the way it is because it carries all of the wounds accumulated throughout the history of Western modernity. Unrepaired, they continue to haunt our societies.

On the occasion of the 12th Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art, artists from around the globe engage with the legacies of modernity and the resulting state of planetary
emergency. They map the world with its ruptures and contradictions, create countertrajectories to the colonial narrative, and propose decolonial strategies for the future.
