Exploring the boundaries that define and unite us
We are pleased to announce the 20th edition of Mediterranea – Young Artists Biennale, a landmark event that brings together emerging artists from across Europe and the Mediterranean. Taking place from May 30 to June 30, 2025, in Nova Gorica, Vipava, and Gorizia, this year’s edition embraces the theme Our Collective Limits…, inviting visitors to reflect on the visible and invisible borders that shape our societies, our identities, and our future.
Rooted in a rich history that began in Barcelona in 1985, the Mediterranea Biennale is promoted by BJCEM – Biennale des Jeunes Créateurs de l’Europe et de la Méditerranée. It has grown into a vital platform for intercultural exchange, supporting generations of young artists from across the region. This 20th edition is organized by GO! 2025 – European Capital of Culture and the ŠKUC Association, and curated by Tia Čiček and Misal Adnan Yıldız.
Unlike traditional notions of a “borderless” future, Mediterranea 20 proposes a deeper interrogation of how boundaries—geographical, psychological, political, and ecological—are formed, sustained, and dismantled. The Biennial becomes a space of encounter: a place to gather, to challenge, to listen, and to imagine alternative ways of being together.
