The Biennale of Western Balkans presents Art Pluriverse II, a community science series on intangible & natural heritage in the Balkans titled “Iatrosophia: On Folk Medicine and Phytogeography” linking intangible cultural heritage with art and open knowledge

After the successful first edition of 2020, the Biennale presents a communities-based digital programme through a series of open calls for artists, researchers and communities until 13 December 2021. Participants to be chosen will be announced in mid-January 2022 and will begin cooperation under two tracks: the Artist-Community Synergies, and the FAIR & CARE Community Archives.

Art Pluriverse II is realized under the scientific direction of Dr Christos Dermentzopoulos and curation by Mariana Zikou, Elli Leventaki and Katerina Zachou.
