LIVE Biennale is excited to announce the launch of our new multi-year website.
With LIVE’s iterative nature this platform will be the site for engagement between festival years. This website is also the home of our ongoing archive project which includes an artist index connecting the early years of LIVE (1999-2005), organized by grunt gallery, to the 9 biennales (2007-2023) LIVE has hosted since becoming an independent non-profit.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to the Filipino community and everyone impacted by this devastating loss.
With Lapu Lapu's spirit of warrior strength, we will hold each other through this difficult time. We remain committed to fostering spaces of care, support, and solidarity within our arts community.
In mourning and in unity,
LIVE Biennale
We at LIVE Biennale are deeply saddened by the tragic event that took place on Saturday night during the Lapu Lapu event in Vancouver.
Words cannot fathom the extremity of what has happened. It is heartbreaking, off-putting, and profoundly tragic. We are mourning the deaths of the innocent, sending our prayers to those recovering, and holding close in our thoughts all those who attended and have been affected, along with their families and loved ones.
