Today, environmental issues have become one of the most important themes not only in global public discourse, but also on the international art scene. More and more projects are devoted to shared planetary challenges, and it is heartening to see that the Biennale of Environmental Art has become one of the largest initiatives not only in Russia, but worldwide.

— Yulia Aksenova, Program Director and Chief Curator of the Biennale

For the Nizhny Novgorod Region, hosting the First International Biennale of Environmental Art is not only a great honor, but also a tremendous opportunity to establish itself as a meeting ground for serious international dialogue. I am confident that a meaningful, recurring event of global significance can take root here.
As environmental issues grow ever more urgent, our region—with its rich industrial heritage and experience in rethinking these processes—is ready to assume a leading role in this vital field. The Biennale brings people from around the world together in a shared sense of responsibility for our planet, and we are proud that Nizhny Novgorod is becoming the center of this movement.

— Oleg Berkovich, Deputy Governor of the Nizhny Novgorod Region

The Biennale seeks to frame ecology as the defining, unifying theme of our time—even in a fragmented world. It is a project about our shared future, and a catalyst for reflection and metaphorical travel.

— Dmitry Khankin, Managing Partner of Triumph Gallery
