WRO 2021: REVERSO
REVERSO is a call to look at what is happening now in art from the 
underside which, until recently just peeking through, is now becoming 
increasingly visible, from the reverse of a suddenly upended side, as 
well as being a device that saves the lives of climbers in case they 
suddenly fall off the rock, helping them convert an inevitable crash 
into a controlled rappel.

In search of a quality path and a redefinition of development: we call 
for REVERSO.

The shift requires to revise the status quo, to see what lies 
underneath, study things inside out, be inquisitive, and display 
sensitivity. This is the function of media art; its chance to operate 
with the values that are specific to art, and through its capability of 
fostering unobvious relations while looking not for one method - but for 
a multiplicity of visions, concepts, and practices.

Opening events: May 12–15, 2021


WRO Biennale
The WRO Media Art Biennale is the major forum for media art in Poland 
and one of the leading international contemporary art events in Europe. 
Since its inception in 1989, WRO has been presenting art forms created 
using new media for artistic expression and communication, exploring 
current creative territories, and forming a critical perspective of 
emerging issues in culture, art, society, technology, and humanities.
