Biennale de Guinee BIEGUIP in Conakry
A major Conakry biennial running roughly nine days every two years, bringing music, dance, performance, cinema and street parades together across the whole city in one of Guinea's largest and most wide-ranging cultural gatherings for visitors and residents alike, whenever it eventually returns to the capital.
Biennale de Guinee, known by its acronym BIEGUIP, ran its most recent confirmed edition across nine days from 7 to 15 November 2025 in Conakry, positioning itself as one of the largest cultural gatherings on the country's calendar precisely because it happens only every two years rather than annually.
