Description: In the 2017 edition, the Curitiba Biennial had the title of Antipodes- Diverse and Reverseʺ that refers to positions diametrically opposed to each other. In this Biennial, this title was chosen to indicate metaphorically geographical points radically distant from each other. China, the country honored at this biennial, marks an extreme point, especially in relation to Latin American countries. However, culture, especially in its artistic manifestations, has the possibility of creating links and drawing diagrams between the most distant places. The image is, by antonomasia, a device capable of joining distant points. The idea of ??diversity, one of the central points of this biennial, is reinforced by linking opposing zones and situations that coincide without risking their respective differences. The highlighted participation of China as honored country included the participation of 62 renowned Chinese artists becoming the biggest Chinese contemporary art exhibition to have been presented in Latin America. Besides the artists from China, the event included works and performances of artists from  five continents. The 2017 edition had more than 1 million visitors from Brazil and the world in the more than a hundred spaces taken over by Curitiba Biennial and in other cities of Paraná, Santa Catarina, Argentina and Paraguay.
