This year’s Gwangju Biennale, set to take place in Gwangju, South Korea in April, includes the work of two celebrated choreographers, Trajal Harrell and Cecilia Bengolea. Through interviews with these dance artists and the biennale’s curators, Emily May explores the history of Gwangju; the organizing theme of “Intelligence and the Expanded Mind”; and the prominence of performance in the program.
Emily May previews Venice’s dance festival and the ongoing work of this year’s Golden Lion recipient: María La Ribot.
