MOMENTA Biennale d’art contemporain in Montreal has appointed curator and educator Toleen Touq to organize its 20th edition, scheduled for 2027. The biennial will be titled 'The Long Now' and will focus on interrogating concepts of time and duration.
This appointment signals a significant curatorial choice for a major international biennale, bringing a curator with a strong background in experiential residencies, artist-run centers, and programming focused on diasporic and transnational perspectives to a prominent platform. Touq's recent projects, including the programme 'Palestine All The Time,' suggest the 2027 edition may engage with pressing geopolitical and temporal themes.
