The Mardin Biennial was first organized in 2010 with the aim of transforming Mardin into a center of contemporary art and bringing new approaches and gains to the region through the language of art.

The biennial, which aims to contribute to the visibility of the existing artistic accumulation and production in the region as well as presenting the artists' messages about life, takes place both in Mardin's historical sites with their unique architecture and culture, and in places where daily life continues.

In this biennial, will be displayed by works Alan Sekula, Victor Burgin, Nil Yalter, Thierry Kuntzel, Seza Paker and more.
