Romania’s Art Encounters Biennial has announced its list of artists who will be participating in the 2019 edition. The biennial, which was launched in 2015, presents itself as ‘a cross between an experimental art festival and a contemporary art biennial’ and will this year be hosted by the city of Timișoara. With a focus on Timișoara’s history and its socio-cultural environment, the biennial seeks to ‘become a creative meeting point for artists, communities, institutions and ideas’. The curators of this year’s edition are Maria Lind and Anca Rujoiu.
