Artistic Directors for the 9th Yokohama Triennale Decided
Summary
The Yokohama Triennale Organizing Committee announced the appointment of Cosmin Costinaș (from Romania) and Inti Guerrero (from Colombia) as the Artistic Directors for the 9th Yokohama Triennale, scheduled to run from April 23 to September 12, 2027. Costinaș is a curator known for his work at Para Site and Haus der Kulturen der Welt, while Guerrero is a curator and art educator who previously directed Velas Artes Projects and served as a guest curator at Tate. Both directors previously co-curated the 24th Sydney Biennale (2024), where their focus on collective resistance, joy, and hope against Western pessimism was highly praised. The 9th Triennale aims to redefine international exhibitions in the global era, following the comprehensive director Mika Kuraya’s policy of sustainably organizing dialogue with various regions of the world. The selection committee praised the duo for recognizing the necessity of functioning within local contexts and showing deep interest in Yokohama's history of exchange.
