The 14th edition of the Taipei Biennial, Whispers on the Horizon, is set to open on November 1 at the Taipei Fine Arts Museum (TFAM). The exhibition explores the notion of yearning — not as nostalgia, but as a vital tension between the real and the desired. Today, yearning takes on a new urgency as it becomes a collective pursuit for justice, recognition, and belonging in the face of erasure. Whispers on the Horizon gathers works that embody yearning in strikingly different ways, from film and performance to sculpture and immersive environments. The works in the biennial don’t resolve these tensions — rather, they seek to make them tangible.
