The international tour of the 35th biennale - which took place between September and December 2023 curated by Diane Lima, Grada Kilomba, Hélio Menezes and Manuel Borja-Villel - will first go to Buenos Aires, Argentina, between March 20th and May 27th, then Luanda, and finally La Paz, in Bolivia.
Luanda is expected to host the program in the second half of the year, at the Instituto Guimarães Rosa, the organization said in a statement.
Portuguese artists Carlos Bunga and Raquel Lima were among the 120 artists selected to participate in this 35th São Paulo Biennial, challenged to "give a voice to diasporas and native peoples, expanding local and international dialogue", according to the program of the exhibition contemporary art.
The title of the biennial was "created as an invitation to radical imaginations regarding the unknown, or even what appears within the framework of im/possibilities", according to a curatorial text released before the opening.
The curators selected artists mainly from Brazil, but also from countries such as Mexico, the United States of America, Canada, Spain, France, Italy, Ghana, the Philippines, Guatemala, Ghana, Lebanon and South Africa.
Eighty percent of the invited artists – who presented more than a thousand works in different languages – were black, indigenous or non-white.
