The Bodø Biennale program includes exhibitions, performances, workshops, seminars, art talks etc. The program is composed of three streams: one stream focusing on visual art with exhibitions, art talks etc; one stream focusing on dance art with performances, artists talks, workshops etc; and one stream focusing on multidisciplinary art with cross-over productions, talks and debate, workshops, opening production with an art walk in Bodø centre (including professional artists and ‘amateurs’-school children/students).

The program will unfold in various arenas and cultural institutions in the city centre, public spaces, and traditional and untraditional spaces (for artistic production).
