Vilnius Biennial of Performance Art is a new and ongoing international event dedicated to contemporary performance art, organised by the Vilnius city gallery Meno Niša as an official part of the Vilnius 700th anniversary programme.

VB23’s programme consisted of guest artists, curated by Neringa Bumblienė, and works by artists selected through an open call by an international jury, formed of Maria Arusoo, Neringa Bumblienė, and Joanna Zielińska. The biennial presented performances by 18 international and Lithuanian artists, almost half of which were new works commissioned and created especially for VB23.
