Talks & Lectures
In pursuit of trans-disciplinary conversations and open communication, the 14th Gwangju Biennale invites audiences to participate in various talk and lecture programs. Artist talks provide an opportunity for visitors to engage in an open exchange of opinions related to the artists’ works and philosophies, as well as the audience’s own appreciation of said works. Theme-related talks, on the other hand, offer a forum for focused discussion regarding resonances generated by the various exhibition themes. These talk and lecture programs are held monthly at Gwangju Biennale Geosigi Hall.
