Next year marks the 50th anniversary of the opening of the first international Biennial of Design, known as BIO. There have been 23 international BIO exhibitions in Ljubljana since 1964, and the 24th jubilee event offers us an opportunity not only to reflect on the past but also to look into the future.

We invite you to join us on 24 October at 7:30 p.m. at Kino Šiška for a public discussion about the challenges and opportunities facing the Biennial of Design in the future and how we can respond to the changes which both design and society are struggling with today.

The discussion will be conducted by the Belgian critic and curator Jan Boelen, who is the director of Z33 – House for Contemporary Art, the head of the Master department Social Design at the Design Academy in Eindhoven (NL), and the chairman of the Flemish Committee for Architecture and Design.

Opening

7:30 p.m.
