On Thursday 25 May we introduced our 4th Biennial in an event at the iconic Coventry Cathedral.
This event included the most comprehensive set of announcements around our upcoming programme yet, as well as providing an opportunity to meet and hear from some of the artists that we’re working with towards Coventry Biennial 2023.
If you missed this event you can watch the full curatorial overview from curators Anneka French and Dr Ian Sergeant below:

Our title is drawn from a line of poetry by Antony Owen, a Coventry-based poet and activist. As a title for our Biennial, this half line of poetry acts as an open-ended provocation that connects deeply to the work that our artists are making and asks questions about belonging, protest and survival in a complex world. The title might suggest danger or risk but is also emblematic of freedom, navigation and a close engagement with the natural world.
During this event we also announced a new series of Edited Volumes which you can read more about and download a digital copy of here.
