The Athens Biennale, one of the largest contemporary art presentations held every two years in Athens, returns for its sixth instalment with the theme “ANTI” – the oppositional stance found across many arenas today, from politics to web culture, videogames to Netflix.
Both Greek and foreign artists will present works that inhabit significant spaces around the centre of Athens to offer a distinct, idiosyncratic snapshot of our social, political and cultural times.

The biennale will transfer visitors to the area of Syntagma Square and in particular, Stadiou St, where vacant, unoccupied buildings, that were once urban landmarks of Athens, are now inextricably linked with the city’s more recent history.
