Art Encounters 2025 Biennale – „Bounding Histories. Whispering Tales” – starts right now

This edition of Art Encounters 2025 Biennale departs from reflections on the city of Timișoara and its various biennial locations. In reflecting on these marks, on what these places are telling us today, and how we can occupy them in a context of an international art exhibition, we thought of the echo, as both a notion and an event. Art Encounters 2025 Biennale – „Bounding Histories. Whispering Tales” – starts right now.

3 exhibitions + 60 International artists + 30 countries + more than 100 art works 
All the details – www.artencounters.ro – from 30 of May to 13th of July 

Garrison Command (curators – Tevž Logar / Ana Janevski) – Inside the walls of the Garrison, the works on display interact with the deep traces left by the various historical regimes of authority, war and control, transforming the building into a space of dialog, where the oppressions of the past are not only remembered but also reimagined. 

FABER (curators Tevž Logar / Ana Janevski)  – The FABER building is the result of a transformation and restoration of a 200-year- old industrial structure, the former Azur factory, a chemical manufacturer. Some of the artworks presented in these spaces reflect on the post-socialist condition, on political transitions and economic changes, tracing the shifting role of workers and their complex entanglement with culture, industry, and political systems. 

Art Encounters Foundation (curators Tevž Logar / Ana Janevski) – The Art Encounters Foundation building, constructed between 1904 and 1905, was one of the first structures of the ILSA wool factory.The artworks presented in this venue integrates childhood and interdependent networks that resist essentialism, isolation, and erasure. They reject the imposed borders between male and female, productivity and intimacy, personal and political, and instead affirm a spectrum of possibilities, a plurality of ways to exist.
