@aichi_triennale this year is a celebration of creativity’s power to reimagine, re-envision and, most importantly, reintroduce into circulation vital generative energies—even amid the destruction and despair that seem to define our time. At the helm is curator and cultural producer Hoor Al Qasimi, director of the Sharjah Biennial and artistic director of the upcoming Sydney Biennial. This edition of the Triennale brings together 62 artists across geographies, with a focus on an expanded notion of the Asian region that pairs artists from the Middle East with some of Japan’s most compelling voices.

The deliberately contained number of participants, whose work is spread across sites throughout Aichi Prefecture, ensures the presentation does not overwhelm, and focus on ambitious installations and productions, alongside a robust public program of performances, workshops and panels designed to engage audiences of every background.

Articulated in three sections and spread across the main venue of the Aichi Arts Center, the Triennale places at its core the goal of imagining a future beyond divisions and discrimination. “It’s about our primordial connection to nature,” Al Qasimi told in a recent interview we had. “I wanted to juxtapose these two extremes of our relationship with the environment—both generative and destructive.” Coinciding with the 80th anniversary of the nuclear attack—an event that only Japan has endured in its full implications—the Triennale inevitably becomes a stage for confronting those ghosts, which feel all the more present today under the shadow of global conflict.

This is the true lesson of the Aichi Triennale: that art, even in the face of devastation, carries the capacity for quiet, meditative resilience. It reminds us of long-trodden terrains we must learn to inhabit differently, transforming fragility into resonance, ancestral wisdom into a recipe for survival and artistic creation into the most genuine and universally attuned path to claim fertile creativity over destruction, long disguised as the promise of capitalist progress.
