- Some exhibits also feature activity booklets designed for families and digital booklets that are easy to read and understand .
The Biennale also offers workshops and tours designed for those who are least exposed to culture, as well as numerous free events open to everyone.
The “En route pour la Biennale” program is designed specifically for groups of young people in the lead-up to the Biennale to engage with the artistic program, develop outreach tools, and become active participants in the event.
In the spirit of knowledge-sharing, openness, and collaboration, the Biennale welcomes a team of volunteers. They help organize the event and meet with the artists. This year, we are placing special emphasis on training our teams and volunteers to combat gender-based and sexual violence and harassment.
Pricing Policy
The Biennale is committed to maintaining an affordable pricing policy in order to make its programming accessible to as many people as possible.
Many events are offered free of charge and are open to the public. When purchasing tickets, audience members also have the option to make a charitable donation. These contributions help fund a “suspended tickets” program, which is made available to audiences supported by social service organizations with which we collaborate throughout the year. In addition to this quota of solidarity tickets, the donations collected support the initiatives of our Transmission division. In particular, they help fund initiatives that promote inclusion and accessibility for the public, such as tailored outreach programs.
Planning and Cooperation
The Biennale’s artistic program is developed collaboratively and based on a spirit of cooperation. The artistic committee consists of the artistic director, members of the CHRONIQUES team, partners, and invited external figures.
Les choix se sont faits en concertation les mois précédents la Biennale. Les projets artistiques sélectionnés résonnent avec la thématique choisie et reflètent d’une manière ou d’une autre les valeurs et engagements de CHRONIQUES portés sur la diversité des genres, des esthétiques et des formes, les identités plurielles, le respect humain et l’attention aux enjeux environnementaux et sociétaux. La Biennale s’engage à ne pas cloisonner mais bien à explorer les possibles et les marges dans un souci permanent d’ouverture et d’écoute de son territoire, des artistes, des publics et des partenaires.
Environmental Responsibility
Throughout the year, a working group within CHRONIQUES has been engaged in a comprehensive review of how to reduce the event’s environmental footprint and identifying areas for improvement.
Une attention particulière a été portée au transport des publics, des artistes et des partenaires tout au long de l’évènement, à l’upcycling de nos anciennes bâches, à l’usage d’un papier recyclé pour les supports de communication, à l’optimisation des quantités imprimées et à la collaboration avec des prestataires locaux, engagés dans des circuits courts, notamment pour les caterings et temps réceptifs. Pour cette nouvelle édition, la Biennale intègre le COFEES, collectif des festivals éco-responsables et solidaires de la région Sud – Région Sud-Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur.
