Biennale d’Aix

The Aix Biennial consists of a major multi-disciplinary arts festival that transforms the historical center into an open-air cultural stage. Historically, this initiative was created to bridge the gap between Aix’s prestigious past and its contemporary creative future. It highlights the regional identity through large-scale installations, street theater, and digital arts integrated into historical monuments. Visitors can experience immersive performances and innovative exhibitions in city parks, cloisters, and ancient mansions. This series of events generates massive social impact by engaging local citizens in the co-creation of modern urban narratives. For researchers, it serves as a case study for the professionalization of public art and urban cultural policy. The biennial is dedicated to the preservation of the creative and architectural legacy of the city of thousands fountains.
