More about the artists and the projects →
The Triennale EKO, established in 1980 in what was then Yugoslavia, is one of the oldest events of its kind. The EKO Triennale will be dedicated to visual arts that explore and comment on the numerous changes at the global and local levels that impact the environments in which we live and upon which we depend. We have moved the triennale out of gallery spaces and established its new location with the aim of reactivating urban areas.
