BIEN 2023 is an international textile art biennial based in Slovenia. With its programs of textile art and industrial design, BIEN is biennially presented in the form of exhibitions and projects that reflect on heritage, conservation and sustainability, drawing from the biological, geological and archaeological features of space, environment, identities, industrial heritage and traditional knowledge, and creating new contemporary expressions. BIEN promotes interdisciplinary artistic integration with projects and residencies, presents the works of international and domestic artists, with a special emphasis on the best works of current domestic and international student production, and understands that the future of art is also in the public and digital space.
