12th Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art
6/11/2022 – 9/18/2022

The 12th Berlin Biennale Still Present! unfolds around a set of questions. How can a decolonial ecology be shaped? What role can non-Western feminist movements play in the reappropriation of history? How can the debate on restitution be reinvented beyond the return of plundered goods? Can the field of emotion be reclaimed through art?
