Coventry Biennial: The Twin
The biennial team and their partners invite people to learn, look, make, talk, think and walk with them. The biennial鈥檚 title this year is The Twin and it comprises a series of exhibitions, events and activities about relationships.
Coventry now has 26 twins around the world and is known as a city that welcomes migrants and refugees. When walking the city鈥檚 streets Punjabi, Urdu and Polish can frequently be heard alongside accents from across the West Midlands, nearby Warwickshire and Ireland.
The artists and groups exhibiting in The Twin all explore themes, ideas and processes which resonate through this international city including translation, collaboration and togetherness while also exploring some of the difficulties presented by globalisation, political inequality and conflict.
Ryan Hughes, Artistic Director of Coventry Biennial explains: "Coventry has been an international, welcoming and activist city for decades. We are thrilled to be working with artists, our twin cities and a wide variety of partners to explore what it means to be together in 2019鈥�
