First Peek at the Programme

What can you expect at Bristol Biennial? Ahead of next month's full programme launch, we're sharing three special projects coming to the city...

Ashley Peevor

Grass Men

Keep an eye out for unusual figures emerging in green spaces around Bristol. Ashley Peevor's Grass Men bring a touch of the absurd and a hint of ancient mysticism back to the urban environment.

Oscar Octavio Soza Figueroa & Kike Medina Galán

Cycle Sound Environments

Get on your bike! Kike Medina Galán & Oscar Octavio Soza Figueroa invite you to capture the sounds of the city using your bicycle as a recording device, feeding the data into a live immersive installation at Create Centre.

Sondryfolk

Allez Allez Plonge!

There will be food, there will be drink, there will be music. The rest is top secret! For Allez Allez Plonge!, join an offbeat adventure with a motley crew, to reclaim overlooked parts of the city.


These three projects are just the tip of the iceberg lettuce! Stay in touch for announcements of our full programme. Want to get involved? Join our volunteer stewarding team...
