Bristol Biennial 2016 took the theme of In Other Worlds, exploring different perspectives: from the sensory to the stellar; from human to non-human, from present to future; from the city streets to the very air we breathe. Curated by an international open call, the festival presented 13 new commissions for Bristol, created by emerging artists from around the world - and close to home. Exhibitions, talks, events and satellite projects invited conversation, encounters and exploration in unusual locations across the city. We asked the city to “immerse yourself, engage your senses and discover worlds you never knew existed…”

It is good to allow local artists the opportunity to connect with the festival and to showcase projects even if they are not commissioned. It's a good test space

BB sits within the realm of other experimental contemporary art festivals I have been part of and attended, also their program did have aspects that were highly localised.

Every piece demonstrated the core values of Bristol Biennial: namely a commitment to accessible, thought-provoking, socially conscientious artworks and events, and a staunch support of emerging and early career artists. That this was achieved on a budget just 4% the size of that of the sprawling Liverpool Biennial is astonishing, and testament to two years' hard work put in by the Bristol Biennial team and its supporters. One would hope that the success of this event attracts further funding that might allow the 2018 Bristol Biennial to run for more than just nine days. One thing is for sure, this city is ready for it.

My 2 year old wanted to run around and take photos of her playmates. Thank you I've loved the sensory experience.

That how important is the environment, the air – our future is based on it – we need to do something about it – anything helps really. It's a nice thing, well done:)
