The 10th Gwangju Design Biennale, which offers a bird’s eye view of domestic and international design trends, will be held at the Gwangju Biennale Exhibition Center and around Gwangju from September 7 to November 7 under the theme of ‘Meet Design’.

“We have organized the exhibition content so that visitors from home and abroad can visit and enjoy art and differentiated design to the fullest, we will do our best to promote internationalization based on the various project experiences and know-how we have accumulated over the years.” said Ken-Nah, the general director of the Gwangju Design Biennale.

This year, we have prepared four thematic pavilions, including Technology, Lifestyle, Culture, and Business. “The most important keyword in design is ‘relationship,’ and we wanted to showcase global design trends by focusing on the connectivity of the four pavilions,” said Nam Hwa-jeong, a professor of design at Chonnam National University, who was in charge of visual direction for the biennale.
