Bat Yam International Biennale of Landscape Urbanism, "Urban Action," is a design project in Bat Yam, Israel dedicated to examining and re-designing city landscapes and lifestyles.
This event was dedicated to expanding notions of hosting and hospitality beyond the home and into public spaces.
The projects in the Biennale showed how these changes and disruptions, usually annoyances to citizens, can be used as opportunities for civic engagement and a way to create a better quality of life.
The event attracted tens of thousands of local and international guests to the 41 Biennale sites, the simultaneous street theater festival and the city’s diverse open spaces.
The curators of Timing were Sigal Barnir, a lecturer at the Bezalel Academy of Art & Design in Jerusalem and Yael Moria-Klain, a professor of landscape architecture at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa.
