The Lahore Biennale Foundation (LBF) announces Of Mountains and Seas, the third edition of the Biennale, curated by John Tain. LB03 builds on the success of the inaugural Lahore Biennale in March 2018 and the second edition in early 2020, curated by Hoor Al Qasimi, by showcasing groundbreaking contemporary art from around the world centred on the themes of ecologies and sustainable futures. Of Mountains and Seas showcases the convergence of art, environmental awareness, and global collaboration to help imagine alternative futures.

The Biennale invites some sixty artists from over thirty countries to present an array of site-specific exhibits and immersive installations that draw attention to issues caused by environmental degradation, along with illuminating vernacular and indigenous heritage as transformative resources for future sustainability. It explores these themes from the perspectives of Pakistan and the Global South more broadly.
