Southeast Asia Information Port (www.dnyxxg.com) – The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) cordially invites global visitors to the 2025 Phuket Thailand Biennale. This five-month-long contemporary art extravaganza, running from now until April 2026, brings creative masterpieces from around the world to Phuket's historic districts, cultural landmarks, and scenic outdoor spaces.
Core Theme: A Dialogue Between Time and Nature Through Art
As the fourth edition of this prestigious event, the Biennale not only showcases Thailand's thriving creative economy but also solidifies Phuket's central position as an "arts and culture hub." Themed "Eternal Kalpa," the exhibition encourages visitors to reflect on the passage of time, the vicissitudes of life, and the deep connection between humanity and nature. The exhibited works explore the enduring shaping power of memory, community, and environment on Phuket's future development.
Global Lineup + Diverse Venues: Immersive Art Experiences Across the Island
This biennial brings together 65 artists and art groups from 25 countries. The 19 exhibition venues are spread across three major areas of Phuket Province: Mueang, Kathu, and Thalang, encompassing the former Pearl Theatre, the Phuket Museum of Contemporary Art, renovated community buildings, and iconic outdoor spaces such as Saphan Hin and Promthep Cape. Each venue is meticulously curated, outlining the cultural fabric and natural landscape of Phuket from different perspectives.
Highlights: 13 "Salas" + Diverse Supporting Activities
In addition to the core exhibitions, 13 "Salas," created by Thai and international artist groups, are a major highlight. These distinctive spaces, located throughout the island, not only exhibit additional artworks but also host workshops, community interactions, and other activities, interpreting Phuket's human stories, traditions, and natural fabric from unique perspectives.
The accompanying activities are equally diverse, with lectures, professional guided tours, and community co-creation events running until April 2026. Through these activities, visitors and local residents can not only deeply appreciate the artistic charm of the Biennale but also explore the creative inspiration and stories behind each artwork.
Significance of the Event: Art Empowers the City, Enhancing International Cultural Tourism Attractiveness
The 2025 Phuket Thailand Biennale, with its initial aim of "making contemporary art accessible to the public," also contributes to Phuket's progress towards becoming a "sustainable and creative city." Art installations throughout the city's streets and coastal areas offer a new way to explore the island—allowing travelers to encounter art in unexpected settings and experience the architectural beauty, cultural heritage, and human warmth of Phuket from a novel perspective.
This grand event not only further enhances Phuket's international reputation but also strengthens Thailand's core appeal as a "cultural and creative experience destination," setting a new benchmark for global cultural and tourism integration.
