About

◾️The Kochi Muziris Biennale was founded in 2011 by Kerala-born, Mumbai-based artists Bose Krishnamachari and Riyas Komu.

◾️It aims to “create a platform that will introduce contemporary, global visual art theory and practice to India”.

◾️A biennale is an international large-scale showcase of art that takes place every two years at a particular site, centred around a curatorial theme.

◾️The theme for 2022: “In Our Views Flow Ink and Fire”.

◾️One of the most prestigious and oldest biennales in the world is the Venice Biennale, which was established through a resolution by the city council in 1893 to celebrate national artistic talent.

◾️Biennales often named after the host city, become a reason for local pride, promoting cultural tourism and generating revenue through visitors.
