Diriyah Biennale Highlights Procession-Centered Contemporary Art
The Diriyah Contemporary Art Biennale opened its third edition in JAX, Riyadh, curated by Nora Razian and Sabih Ahmed, and featuring roughly 70 artists across five warehouse halls. Titled 'Interludes and Transitions,' the exhibition foregrounds procession and movement as both subject and method, includes site-specific 'arenas,' and comes as Saudi cultural institutions report more than one million visitors since 2020 and the Ministry of Culture adds 360 cultural professions.
