Dear members,
We hope that the past month has kept you safe and well.
Due to the ongoing situation surrounding COVID-19, more biennials around the world have been postponed with consideration to safety measures and regulations.
Despite these changes, we would like to encourage everyone to visit biennials hosting online content and projects to be made accessible without having to leave your homes.
In order to support this, the website of the International Biennial Association (IBA) will be going through some updates to better serve the biennial community by promoting more online content coming from our member biennials. If you have any news or information you would like to share regarding materials from your biennial, please do not hesitate to get in touch with us at info@biennialassociation.org.
If you are not following us via social media yet, we would also like to encourage connecting with us via Facebook, Instagram and Twitter to receive updates about our member biennials and our own planned events.
Thank you for your ongoing support.
