The catalogue of the Lahore Biennale, Pakistan's most socially liberal and cosmopolitan city

Between Jan 26 and Feb 29, 2020, the Lahore Biennale 02 (LB02) was exhibited at multiple sites across Lahore, Pakistan. Hoor Al Qasimi curated the work of over eighty artists and collectives under the theme of between the sun and the moon, emphasizing participation from the Global South and with a stress on artists and works from Africa, Central Asia, West Asia, and their diasporas.

The multifaceted Biennale program included exhibited works, performances, participatory settings, publications, and films. The Academic Forum of LB02 included lectures, workshops, and panel discussions that illuminated the wider infrastructural, cultural, and aesthetic frameworks relevant to the contemporary Global South.

Lahore Biennale Reader 02 consists of two parts. Part I includes reflections on the Biennale by Lahore-based viewers and the artists, images of the sites, and the artworks. Part II includes essays based on presentations at the LB02 Academic Forum convened by Hoor Al Qasimi and Iftikhar Dadi.
