2027 Theme: symbiosis

The inaugural theme for the Notre Dame Arts Biennial invites artists and audiences into creative communion.

Inspired by the scientific concept of symbiosis, the close and sustained relationship between two different species, the theme is a call to action: to contemplate interdependence through the arts and create it together in practice.
