More than 370 artists from 22 countries are taking part in Wuhan Biennale 2026, whose conceptual starting point is Wuhan as a “transit city”. Among the international participants is István Erős, Rector of the Hungarian University of Fine Arts and Head of the Department of Visual Arts, who has been invited to exhibit his work Inner Light.
The exhibition, titled Temporary Ferry, takes as its starting point Wuhan’s distinctive geographical position. As a transportation hub connecting nine provinces, the city is a meeting point for the continuous flow of people, goods and information. In this sense, the city itself can be understood as a vast, temporary crossing point.
Building on this idea, the exhibition explores how people establish connections and preserve their experiences in an increasingly fluid and uncertain world. It focuses on the significance of fleeting encounters and on the relationships that are continually formed and re-formed amid changing circumstances.
Temporary Ferry interprets impermanence not as a shortcoming, but as a natural condition for renewal and adaptation. It highlights how truly meaningful encounters and exchanges of experience call for full presence, even in the awareness that they are fleeting.
Wuhan Biennale 2026 is open to visitors from 1 October 2026 to 30 May 2027.
