Theme: Arts Plural

Artists and designers possess a particular form of intelligence. Although considered powerful in certain circles, artistic intelligence is frequently ill-defined or misread. However, as a system of capacities for perception, insight, sensing, creating, and decision-making, it has been driving human evolution beyond boundaries for centuries. But how do we define artistic intelligence and its possibilities in a contemporary context?   

ELIA Biennial 2024 Arts Plural celebrates artistic intelligence. It questions how artistic practitioners, designers, students, and educators can be recognised as agents of change, innovation, and evolution. It asks how arts education can contribute to society in a more pluralistic way. What structures are necessary for artistic intelligence to play a role in addressing planetary problems?

Hosted by NABA, Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti, ELIA Biennial 2024 invites participants to come to Milan, a city famed for its vibrant art, history, design, architecture, and extraordinary fashion and culinary scenes.

Open your mind to new ideas. Experience, experiment, and extend your vision of what art and design can do, as together we find new ways to influence transformation in politics, ecology, ethics, technology and sustainability to build inclusive futures based on plural voices.
