ROBOTS ANS RELICS: UN-MANNED
Under the curatorial direction of URBAN NATION Director Yasha Young, in collaboration with 25 renowned artists, a unique walk-in work of art over 100 meters long is being created. The complete work consists of installations, interactive sculptures, a community wall and live performances. All positions of the UN Biennale want to create awareness for the power of the community, inform about the status quo and advocate sustainability. For the future of urban societies and their human participation. Free of charge for all visitors, the URBAN NATION Biennale takes you into a new world worth thinking about.
Each work of art is assigned to one of the 17 goals of the United Nations for sustainable development, thus sharpening visitors’ awareness of global future issues that affect us all. The artists come from diverse cultural contexts and their installations show different perspectives of the approaching future. In connection with the Biennale, a magazine will be published in which all the main themes of the exhibition will be dealt with

WHAT IF WE FINALLY REALIZE WITH A VIEW TO THE PAST WHAT TIME HAS LONG BEEN READY FOR?
Cleared rainforests, oceans full of plastic, bursting icebergs – it is us who are exploiting the earth. And it is only us who can finally change our minds and act differently. Before it is too late. Not only since today we are losing our livelihood on this planet, although everyone can make his contribution. Immediately. So that we have a future at all. More than 20 international artists share visions of this future in the first edition of the URBAN NATION BIENNALE.
