Title: Bienal de Curitiba
Description: Special commemorative edition of a catalogue celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Curitiba International Biennial. The Curitiba International Biennial of Contemporary Art was born in 1993 (originally conceived in 1990 under the name of VentoSul). In 1997, the biennial began its itinerant activities in different states of Brazil and Latin American countries, a work that it maintains to this day. In 2007, 14 years later, it held his first thematic edition, with works related to "Urban Narratives", and diversified its programming, including performances and urban interferences, art film shows, courses and round tables on contemporary art. In 2009 and 2011, the Curitiba Biennial created educational programs and circuits, with the aim of democratizing access to contemporary culture and art. In 2013, when it completed 20 years of activities, it was consecrated as one of the most important contemporary art events of the world circuit: renowned artists from Brazil and the world participated in this edition, providing great success of the public that year. In 2015, the exhibitions prioritized the art that goes to the streets, transforming Curitiba into a large open-air gallery, with urban interventions and artistic performances scattered throughout the city. In addition to holding exhibitions of contemporary art, cinema and literature, the Curitiba Biennial also organizes annual parallel circuits and schedules, with the aim of expanding and solidifying their local ties. They are the Museum Circuit, the Galleries Circuit, the Workshops Circuit and the University Circuit of the Curitiba Biennial (CUBIC)
