Thank you so much Ute Meta Bauer and Ana Salazar Herrera for inviting Palimpsest: A Light Exists in Spring to be part of this.

The second edition of the Diriyah Contemporary Art Biennale, titled After Rain, opened to the public on February 20.

After Rain brings together artists of diverse backgrounds who investigate the relationship between humans and nature, examine the built environment, observe and interact with the landscapes that surround us, recount histories, and encourage us to listen more closely. Conceived as a vibrant entity rather than a static framework, the Biennale’s multi-format platforms consist of an exhibition, the Biennale Encounters series of public programs, a film program, performances, research projects, and dialogues.
