Held under the title “SKYground,” the biennial brings together 42 artists and artist collectives from Turkey and 20 different countries in Mardin. Shaped through exhibitions, site-specific installations, performances, and public space projects, this year’s edition expands beyond the boundaries of the old city for the first time, inviting visitors to explore the region’s diverse geographies.

This year, the 7th Mardin Biennial takes place across Sakip Sabanci Mardin City Museum, Deyrulzafaran Monastery, Dara Ancient City, Kervansaray, Marangozlar Coffeehouse, and Ates Beyler Bathhouse, which is participating as a biennial venue for the first time. The biennial extends beyond exhibition spaces into the city itself — through a shopkeeper sharing his coffeehouse, a family opening their bathhouse to the biennial, and the relationships it establishes within everyday life.
