Since its prelude last October, Biennale 9 has been shifting and changing, by necessity or by choice. It will continue to do so until its end, when a publication will capture this lived experience and what may constitute aesthetic sociality, solidarity, and insurgency today.

Through all its shared utterances, visual frequencies, and abundance of f(r)ictions and glitches; through its peripheral place in the art world; through its precarious position within structural containers and economies, Biennale 9 employs a mode of close narration and is marked by what it proposes.

It is cast as a para-biennale that acknowledges the paradoxes of enclosure and escape, takes pleasure in errant paths and improvisation, and sides with tactics of joyful militancy and the intimate labor of attending to the unrecognized. It is made up of works that explore divergent, even conflicting stories and ways to speak truth to power; works that suggest when to rant and how to whisper, when to laugh and how to love. If “the revolution is like housework—you have to do it every day” (G. C. Spivak), then everything must change. RIS9 wishes to be part of this everyday practice.
