BIEN 2025, Textile Art Biennial

The BIEN 2025 Textile Art Biennial is back. Between 31 May and 14 August 2025, it will once again host exhibitions and projects that reflect on heritage, conservation and sustainability in Kranj and other associated cities (Jesenice, Škofja Loka, Nova Gorica, Idrija). The theme of this year’s Textile Art Biennial is air.

BIEN encourages interdisciplinary connections and presents contemporary expressions in textile art. The exhibitions present works by international and domestic artists, with a special emphasis on the best works of current domestic and international student production. The biennial programme focuses on different audiences and explores the effects of textile creation with them.
