The 13th edition of Liverpool Biennial, titled ‘BEDROCK’, will take place 7 June – 14 September 2025, curated by Marie-Anne McQuay.
‘BEDROCK’ draws on Liverpool’s distinctive geography and the beliefs which underpin the city’s social foundations. It is inspired by the sandstone which spans the city region and is found in its distinctive architecture. ‘BEDROCK’ also acts as a metaphor for the social foundations of Liverpool and the people, places and values that ground all of us.
Liverpool Biennial is the UK’s largest free festival of contemporary visual art. Taking place in historic buildings, unexpected spaces and art galleries, the Biennial has been transforming the city through art for over two decades. A dynamic programme of free exhibitions, performances, screenings, community and learning activities and fringe events unfolds over 14 weeks, shining a light on the city’s vibrant cultural scene.
The Biennial programme is presented in locations across Liverpool, working in public, historic and community spaces, and with the city’s leading art venues including Bluecoat, FACT Liverpool, National Museums Liverpool, Open Eye Gallery and Tate Liverpool + RIBA North. Venues added for the 2025 festival include Liverpool Cathedral, Walker Art Gallery and Liverpool Central Library, with further venues and sites to be announced in Spring 2025.
