IBA Stage: Hawai’i Triennial 2025
March 27, 2025 (Thursday)
7:00 pm (Hawai’i/GMT-10)

We are pleased to announce Binna Choi as one of the featured guests for the upcoming IBA Stage, where we will explore the curatorial framework of the Hawai‘i Triennial 2025.

Binna Choi is a curator, writer, and Director of Casco Art Institute: Working for the Commons in Utrecht, the Netherlands. Since joining Casco in 2008, she has been at the forefront of transforming the institution into a site for social imagination and collective artistic production. Under her leadership, Casco has evolved into a unique platform exploring art’s potential in contributing to shared, sustainable futures.

Choi’s curatorial approach is defined by long-term, process-based projects rooted in care, community building, and socio-political engagement. At Casco, she has worked on initiatives such as The Grand Domestic Revolution, Site for Unlearning (Art Organization) with Annette Krauss, and We Are the Time Machines, focusing on commons and collective learning as artistic strategies.

Her experience also includes major international roles, such as co-curating the 11th Gwangju Biennale The Eighth Climate (What does art do?) in 2016, where she engaged with notions of temporality and planetary imagination, and participating as a curator in Mediacity Seoul Biennale in 2010.

Choi’s writings and projects frequently address critical art institutional practices, decolonial methodologies, and the intersection between art and social movements. As she joins IBA Stage with her fellow curators for the Hawai‘i Triennial 2025, Choi’s perspective will certainly contribute to an understanding on how the whole Triennial unfolded in the archipelago and what kind of networks and practices it was able to intercept.

Join us to learn more about Choi’s curatorial vision and how it shaped this project.

To have the possibility to hear and discuss with the individuals behind biennials has been a key component of what we believe IBA can offer to our members and the wider public and we value your participation through our live streams. As always IBA Stage events are meant as a moment to hear about a project through its makers and have the opportunity to participate in a Q&A session at the end of the presentation.
