GIBCA 2017 Explores Secularity and Civil Rights in Gothenburg

The ninth edition of the Göteborg International Biennial for Contemporary Art (GIBCA) has opened in Gothenburg, Sweden, under the title "WheredoIendandyoubegin – On Secularity." Curated by Nav Haq, the biennial examines the relevance of secularism and civil liberties in contemporary society. It features 50 artists whose works address the defense of social, sexual, cultural, and religious freedoms amid cultural differences. The exhibition unfolds across multiple venues, including Röda Sten Konsthall, Göteborg Konsthall, and Gothenburg City Library, which hosts a video and film program titled "We’re saying what you’re thinking." The biennial runs until November 19, 2017.
