Each "Intra-Curatorial Platform" is a sub-exhibition within the frameworks of the thematic exhibition, which was developed by seven young curators from different parts of the world.

The project "51 Personae" explores the possibilities of everyday life and adds to the biennale the poetry of life, while "Theory Opera" aims to explore the sensuality of thoughts.

This year, the exhibition displays works created by more than 92 artists from home and abroad.

Initiated in 1996, the Shanghai Biennale is the most influential international contemporary art biennale with a long history in China and is one of the most important biennales in Asia.
