Liverpool Biennial, the UK’s largest festival of contemporary visual art, has just announced the concept behind its 11th edition, as well as the list of more than 50 international artists that will be taking part (including Judy Chicago and Haroon Mirza).

Titled The Stomach and the Port, the 2020 staging of the festival will explore notions of the body, drawing on non-Western ways of thinking that challenge conceptions of the individual as a defined, self-sufficient entity. The Biennial programme will be presented in locations across Liverpool, including public and unexpected spaces, historic sites and the city’s leading art venues. New for 2020, Liverpool Biennial’s reach will also expand to the city’s historic Fabric District and beyond. A dynamic programme of free exhibitions, performances, screenings and fringe events unfolds over the 15 weeks, shining a light on the city’s vibrant cultural scene.
