La Biennale Arts Actuels Réunion

The “Biennale Arts Actuels Réunion” opened its gates last Saturday, November 12!
After 2007 and 2009 the Biennale goes in the third round – and it looks pretty interesting what 27 artists present in an old hangar.
If you have the chance to go to the island – don’t miss the show! It closes on December 6.
