BIENNALE PARTICIPATION | BUKHARA BIENNIAL & TAIPEI BIENNIAL

Hera Büyüktaşcıyan
Hera Büyüktaşcıyan will participate in two upcoming biennales this autumn.

The 1st edition of the Bukhara Biennial is inspired by a widely known Uzbek legend. Recipes for Broken Hearts takes the form of an expanded feast to explore the healing power of art and culture through communal participation and will look at time as a key ingredient in art, cooking and healing. Bukhara’s rich history as an important intellectual and economic centre for production on the Silk Roads and as a hub for cultural exchange between Asia, Africa, and Latin America in the twentieth century, will be manifested through an interdisciplinary experience with a strong focus on craft and cultures of togetherness. Curated by Artistic Director Diana Campbell with Wael Al Awar as Creative Director of Architecture.

The 14th edition of the Taipei Biennial, titled Whispers on the Horizon, brings together 54 artists from 35 cities worldwide. Curated by Sam Bardaouil and Till Fellrath, the exhibition features 33 newly commissioned works and site-specific installations that engage deeply with the Taipei Fine Arts Museum's unique architecture and context. The 2025 Taipei Biennial amplifies the voices of young and mid-career artists, with nearly half of the participants born after 1984.
