Fifth International Women's Biennale in Trieste explores utopia as critical tool

On March 28, 2026, the fifth edition of the Biennale Internazionale Donna (BID V) commenced at Magazzino 26 in Trieste's Porto Vecchio, continuing until May 3, 2026. The exhibition, curated by Riccardo Rizzetto, is titled 'La Boemia sta sul mare. Esercitare discontinuità, immaginare altrimenti,' and employs a seaside Bohemia as a metaphor for creative spaces. This event is co-organized by the Comune di Trieste with support from Io Sono FVG. Additionally, a Satellite Project curated by Marlene Elvira Steinz at Galleria di Portopiccolo examines themes of light, fragility, and desire. Artists featured include Arianna Giorgi, Francesca Centonze, Lisa Eleuteri Serpieri, Luisa Elia, Valentina Grilli, Vivianne van Singer, Marta Ravasi, Kikki Ghezzi, along with international artists Sarah Staton, Sarah Kate Wilson, and Billi Thanner.
