Dear members,
Thank you for your ongoing support as a member of the International Biennial Association (IBA).
With the global situation surrounding the pandemic, we have seen biennials all over the world that have been impacted in different ways due to COVID-19.
In order to respect worldwide restrictions while taking travel limitations into consideration, our annual assembly will take place online this year. Please see below for the dates.
7th General Assembly of the International Biennial Association (IBA)
Biennials as an Antidote
Online
December 3, 2020 & December 4, 2020
Due to these unique circumstances, this year’s assembly will also be open to representatives from non-member biennials (invite only) with the goal of creating solidarity and an opportunity to experience one of our assemblies without the need to travel. If there are any biennials you would like to recommend for us to invite, please do not hesitate to let us know!
Additional details and information on registering will be released in the near future.
Should 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.
We would also like to encourage connecting with us via Facebook, Instagram and Twitter to receive regular updates about IBA and our member biennials.
Thank you for your continued support. See you next month!
