5 – 13 November 1992
The events that were affecting Europe, like the Yugoslav Wars, with the consequent changes in the borders, the dismantling of some Countries and the birth of new ones, were reflected in the circuit of the Biennial, which welcomed new Countries for its VI edition, such as Croatia.
The Biennial could be considered as an answer to the challenges carried out by those changes, since it gave us the trust in the future of the young artists.
The Biennial was structured in the following disciplines: Performance, Architecture, Scenic Arts, Visual Arts, Graphic Design, Photography, Gastronomy, Comics, Moving Images: Cinema and Video, Inventions, Literature, Fashion, Music and Cultural Projects.
Numbers
The participants were about 700 artists from 12 Countries (Spain, Italy, France, Croatia, Cyprus, Greece, Portugal, Republic of San Marino, Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia).
