Sonia Boyce: Drenches viewers in a rhapsodic kaleidoscope of voice, color and geometry.

Simone Leigh: Leigh allures us to Mother Earth.

Jade Fadojutimi: Harmony and conflict in a fantastical landscape.

Barbara Kruger: Sound and images: A real blaze for human kindness.

Nan Goldin: Goldin composed this film with found scenes of exhilaration, sexuality, bliss and ravishment.

Monira Al Qadiri: Spinning jewel cities in a Persian Gulf-landscape, beaming mythical stories.
Outside the Biennale: Anish Kapoor and Anselm Kiefer

Anish Kapoor: A synergy of science, architecture and humanity.

Anselm Kiefer: Daunting memories, Kiefer in dialogue with master painters.
