Mediterranea 19 Young Artists Biennale is a nomadic Biennale, dedicated to young and emerging artists from Europe and the Mediterranean. For the first time since its first edition in 1985, it is hosted by the Republic of San Marino.
The title is School of Waters, imagining the Biennale as a collective platform capable of deconstructing stereotypes derived from the Eurocentric interpretation of the Mediterranean basin.
On May 14 2021, the Biennale officially opened in San Marino. During the opening days, the public present had the opportunity to visit the exhibitions, and all the public events have been sold out. The exhibitions are presented in different spaces in the historic center of San Marino. Among the locations, the National Gallery, Prima Torre, and the Ancient Monastery of Santa Chiara, currently the seat of the University of San Marino. The inauguration involved local authorities, the team of international curators and 24 artists among the over 70 selected. All the exhibitions will be open until October 31 (booking compulsory).
Mediterranea 19 Young Artists Biennale now continues with a rich live program dedicated to the performing arts.
