The Kochi-Muziris Biennale is India’s first Biennale. The Kochi-Muziris Biennale is an international exhibition of contemporary art hosted in the city of Kochi, India.
The Biennale is a platform for new Indian and international aesthetics and art experiences, and seeks to sustain a space that protects and projects the freedom of artistic invention. The Kochi-Muziris Biennale is an affirmation of the legacy of the ancient port of Muziris and the continuation of its cosmopolitan ethos in the city of Kochi. The Biennale is an exploration of these enduring traditions of co-existence and hospitality that constitutes an alternative to the dominant and domineering political and cultural discourses available today.
