"Cover Me Softly" is the main exhibition of the 2024 Beta Biennial in Timișoara, Romania. This exhibition invites creatives to explore the concept of covers across various disciplines, media, and geographies. 

To cover is to work with what’s already there. Cover also means shelter. To protect or hide. To conceal or disguise, to extend over time or space. To run for cover, to cover one’s back.

The 2024 Beta Biennial unites a diverse array of creatives—including architects, designers, musicians, artists, activists, photographers, writers, directors, and those who defy categorization—in a carefully orchestrated series of public exhibitions and programs.
